Smart Energy Meters

Smart energy meters are now the backbone of modern electricity billing, submetering, renewables integration and grid visibility, turning raw kWh into trustworthy, time-stamped, audit-ready data that can actually be used.

This page brings together important things you should know about smart energy meters in Australia. From practical guidance on selecting the right energy meter for billing or monitoring, through to communications, data management and real-world deployment lessons.

Here you’ll find clear insights and practical guidance on how advanced energy metering solutions like SATEC’s NMI approved devices support accurate measurement, streamlined integration with SCADA/BMS/cloud platforms and future-ready energy management strategies.

The Big Smart Energy Meter Players

Energy metering for Commercial Buildings, Embedded Networks & Multi-Tenant Sites

Commercial Buildings, Embedded Networks & Multi-Tenant Sites

In commercial and mixed-use buildings, smart energy meters are the quiet workhorses behind accurate tenant billing, dispute reduction and transparent energy cost recovery.

With the right energy meter accuracy class, communications and interval logging, site owners and operators can automate cost allocation, support complex tariffs and build trust with occupants. All while gaining real visibility into where energy dollars are going.

Colocation Energy Billing Solutions Advanced Metering for Multi-Tenant Data Centres

Industrial & Critical Infrastructure Operators

Manufacturing sites, data centres, airports and other critical facilities use smart energy meters for far more than kWh. They need load visibility, demand peaks, power quality context and fast diagnostics.

Smart energy meters with advanced logging and power quality capability help teams identify abnormal conditions early, reduce downtime risk, protect sensitive equipment and improve operational efficiency.

Energy management for EV charging stations

Renewables, Storage & Electrification Projects

Solar, wind, BESS and EV infrastructure introduce bidirectional flows, faster-changing profiles and new compliance/data expectations. Smart energy meters provide the measurement foundation to track import/export, validate performance and enable smarter control strategies.

With robust communications and centralised data tools, developers and asset owners can scale monitoring across portfolios and keep performance transparent over time.
