The extension of automated meter reading (AMR) is a smart meter; it comprises the whole range of metering devices, software, communication media, and data management systems with two-way communication between the consumers and utilities. It helps to reduce the billing cost and operations cost for the utilities. They record the data on how much gas, electricity, and water they are consuming, and calculate the cost, and also show how these consumptions impact greenhouse gas emissions. The smart meters automatically upload the data and prepare the bills with more accuracy and help in reducing errors in billing.

Smart meters help to reduce the CO2 emissions in two ways: direct energy savings by consumers and indirect energy savings through efficient management of smart meter, remote reading, and reduced peak consumption. It is found that ample opportunities in smart meters are available for hardware, software, communications, consumer energy displays and controllers, meter data management software, and supplier business systems. The demand for smart meters is increasing in countries such as the U.S., Canada, UK, Germany, Spain, China, Australia, New Zealand, India and Middle East, and other emerging countries. The governments across the globe are supporting smart meters suppliers through subsidies.
