According to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the installation of smart meters at all supply points is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2024. When you enroll to switch to Ambit or any energy retailer, you are given priority to have it installed. There is no charge to install a smart meter, and you do not have to be present for the installation, unless requested. When the installation date is set, you will receive a notice from the General Electricity Transmission and Distribution Utility, so please check the details. For more information, please check on Agency for Natural Resources and Energy website (Japanese only).
*If you wish to sign up for Free Fridays Plan, a smart meter must already be installed.
