With a smart meter, you benefit from hourly billing and can use dynamic tariffs. Switch to Ostrom and order your (free) smart meter now!

What Is A Smart Meter?

A smart meter is a meter that can accurately record and transmit your electricity consumption by the hour. Unlike conventional meters, which require manual reading and often result in estimates, smart meters provide detailed and accurate information about your electricity consumption. This data will then be automatically sent directly to your electricity provider. This means your meter no longer needs to be read manually and you are billed according to your actual consumption.

Benefits Of A Smart Meter

• No More Surprise Back Payments: Because you are always billed by your hourly consumption, we know exactly how much electricity you use each month and can bill you according to your consumption.
• No More Meter Readings: Because we automatically receive your meter readings, you no longer have to read them. Goodbye dark cellar!
• Hourly Insights Into Your Electricity Consumption: A smart meter measures your hourly electricity consumption and sends it to us. You can then see how much electricity you have consumed in the Ostrom app.
• Use Our Dynamic Tariff: A smart meter means you automatically get access to our SimplyDynamic-Tariff. This means you can benefit from hourly pricing and reduce your electricity costs by shifting your consumption to the cheapest hours.

To ensure a smooth and consistent smart meter rollout in Germany, we work together with authorised metering point operators (gMSB). We forward your smart meter order to them and they take care of the installation and commissioning.

2. Installation Date Is Set: Our partner grid will contact you for an installation appointment.
3. Your smart meter is getting installed: Once the smart meter is installed we are waiting for the grid provider to send us your consumption data.
4. Grid sends us your consumption data: As soon as we receive your data, we will switch you to our SimplyDynamic tariff at the next possible opportunity.
