At 10 feet away, the Smart Meter emits 0.1 Microwatts per square centimeter whereas, a microwave oven at 2 inches from door emits 1000 Microwatts per square centimeter. In fact, the safest level of radio frequency emissions for humans to be exposed to is 1000 Microwatts per square centimeter. They use radio-frequency waves, just like your smart phones and microwaves, and the radiation exposure is miniscule in comparison. Azadeh Peyman, Principal Radiation Protection Scientist from Public Health England (PHE), “The level of radio waves they produce is typically one million times less than the internationally agreed guidelines.” No, Smart Meters are safe and don’t pose a risk to health. By conserving energy, we use and produce less electricity, resulting in reduced emissions due to decreased power generation and potentially better air quality for Malaysia. You can make an impact towards a greener Malaysia by monitoring your energy usage frequently, in greater detail and by making smarter, energy-saving decisions like turning off appliances, changing to more efficient lighting, adjusting thermostats, buying energy efficient appliances, etc. Our energy networks will run in a completely new way, helping TNB to improve your customer experience and our services while allowing us to gain better control of the grid and enhance the efficient use of energy. Smart Meters form an integral part of the creation of a smart grid, which uses digital technology to manage and supply electricity where it’s needed. Smart Meters can help you save electricity and money and in turn, save the environment for a smarter, greener Malaysia. PAVING THE WAY FOR A SMARTER, GREENER MALAYSIA You can pay your Smart Meter bill anytime, anywhere via the myTNB app. Smart Meters continuously read your energy usage to give an accurate bill. Smarter Payments via the myTNB App/Portal Receive notifications via the myTNB app when your electricity supply is disconnected (available soon). View half-hourly energy usage updates via the myTNB Portal Smart Meters share information with your myTNB App and the Portal so you can track and adjust your energy usage to save money and the environment. By using our interactive myTNB app and/ or the myTNB Portal, you can track how much energy you are using and view how much your electricity bill may reach to make smarter, energy-saving decisions. Smart Meters can help you keep an eye on how much energy you are using at your premises. They read your daily energy usage and provide more accurate bills for a smarter, greener and more energy efficient future. Smart Meters are a new way for Malaysians to get their meter readings for a better energy experience.Ī Smart Meter is a device that records your electricity usage and communicates this information automatically to TNB via radio-frequency waves for monitoring and billing.
