This paper analyzes the results of a quasi-experimental design with 500 households in a target group (with smart meters) and 500 – in a control group (without smart meters) in Latvia. Lorenz curves are used to quantify the reduction in electricity consumption and to study the re-distribution of energy allocation due to roll-out of smart meters. Results on energy distribution for the target group suggest that the reduction of electricity consumption play a minor role on energy equity in a short-term, but effect is growing over last months of the study. These results could be explained by the hypothesis that investments in energy efficient lighting and home appliances take time.
