Adelaide Smart Meters

As South Australia accelerates its energy transformation, Adelaide’s commercial and industrial sectors are being called to lead the way in adopting smarter infrastructure. The Government Smart Meter Rollout 2025 is in full motion, requiring businesses across Adelaide to replace old metering systems with digital smart meters capable of supporting advanced energy management.


At Macquarie Electric, we work with high-consumption sites, critical infrastructure and commercial portfolios to ensure metering upgrades are completed safely and efficiently. With our industry knowledge and hands-on experience in high-voltage systems, we help Adelaide’s businesses meet compliance, improve operational oversight and contribute to a lower-emissions energy grid. From major commercial properties to regional manufacturing facilities, our solutions scale to meet the challenge.


Call Macquarie Electric on 1800 999 673 to discuss your upgrades.

What Is the Government Smart Meter Rollout 2025?

The Government Smart Meter Rollout 2025 is a federal initiative aimed at upgrading all electricity meters to modern, remotely-read smart meters by the end of 2025. This program is mandatory for commercial and industrial energy users and forms part of a national strategy to enhance grid reliability, improve billing accuracy and support demand-side energy response. Smart meters transmit live consumption data, making it easier to detect inefficiencies and adjust energy use in real time.



In Adelaide, businesses operating large-scale infrastructure or managing multiple sites must take proactive steps to meet the deadline. Unlike standard rollouts for households, these upgrades require technical planning, safety checks and coordination with the energy network. Macquarie Electric offers full-service implementation—from consultation to commissioning—so your systems are upgraded without operational disruption.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What kinds of Adelaide businesses are affected by the rollout?

    The rollout applies to all commercial and industrial energy users, including warehouses, retail centres, government facilities and heavy industry. If your site relies on a legacy meter, it must be replaced before the 2025 deadline. Sites with embedded networks or high voltage supply may require custom metering solutions. Our team helps identify the right approach and manages the transition.

  • Are smart meters required for demand response programs?

    Yes, most demand response and flexible pricing programs require a smart meter with remote communication capabilities. These programs allow businesses to reduce load during peak times in exchange for financial incentives. Smart meters are the entry point for participating in these schemes. We can ensure your system is configured to meet program eligibility.
