Benefits

It’s more convenient; Without SMR, meters that are not easily accessible (i.e. remote location, meter is located in a gated property etc.) and if you are frequently unavailable, allowing the TNB Meter Readers in becomes a hassle.

The power is in your hands; You will be able to monitor and manage your own monthly consumption.
