Paul Davies AM cooking pancakes using only two pence of electricity with Smart Energy GB
Paul Davies AM recently took part in a cookery demonstration held by Smart Energy GB to
highlight the benefits of smart meters to people across Wales.
Mr Davies joined fellow AMs in a bid to cook a plate of pancakes using the least amount of
electricity.
His culinary efforts cost 2p in energy, compared to the average plate of pancake cooking
which cost 2.19p. A smart meter was used to measure the AM’s energy usage, displaying
the results in pounds and pence on a digital display.
With more than 8.6 million smart meters already installed across Great Britain, Paul is
looking forward to seeing smart meters help people to monitor their energy usage across
Preseli Pembrokeshire.
Those who have upgraded to a smart meter are already feeling the benefits. Three quarters
of people who have a smart meter say they would recommend one to family and friends,
with a similar proportion (80 per cent) taking steps to cut down on their energy usage
(August 2017 Smart Energy Outlook).
After hearing more about the technology from Smart Energy GB, the voice of the smart
meter rollout, Mr Davies said: “As a smart meter user, I’m more than happy to promote this
technology. Through taking part in this cookery demonstration, not only was I able to get in
a bit of flipping practice before Shrove Tuesday, but I was once again able to see first-hand
how smart meters will give us all much more control of what we spend on gas and
electricity, and finally put an end to estimated bills. Therefore, I would encourage all my
constituents to call their energy supplier today and ask for an appointment to get their own
smart meter fitted.”
