"Smart Meters will be rolled out under a national framework following agreement from the Australian, State and Territory Government Energy Ministers at the 15th Meeting of the Ministerial Council on Energy.
Smart meters are electricity meters which measure energy consumption in half-hour intervals, enabling time-of-day pricing, and providing two-way communication, allowing energy providers to read and control features of the meter remotely. They will also allow communication between the meter and devices in the home, such as air-conditioners, hot-water systems and in-home displays to monitor energy use."
