Smart Energy GB has published the latest research into national public opinion on energy and smart meters.
The research shows that almost everyone in Scotland (97%) is now aware of smart meters and amongst those who haven’t upgraded to smart meters yet, the appetite to get one installed soon is high. Over half (54%) of those in Scotland who don’t yet have a smart meter would like to have one installed in the next six months.

The new fund aims to support proposals focusing on low carbon, renewables and whole system projects including, but not limited to, aspects of heat, electricity, transport, and energy management and ownership.
Chris Morris, manager, Local Energy Scotland, said:
Applications are now open for Adaptation Scotland's new community engagement pioneer project.
