Control and monitoring systems across all industries now include the Internet of Things (IoT) as a core component. This paper presented a smart energy meter using IoT, which measures the load voltage (V) and current (I) values as well as the phase difference (α) between V and I that are used to determine the power factor (pf). The energy consumed is calculated based on the values of I, V and P(w). ESP32 board is used to process the sensor signals as well as it acts as a server that connects to the internet and has a web page to remotely monitor the loads connected to the substation. A web page is designed for each substation so that all web pages are within a website for monitoring electrical loads connected to substations. Each webpage contains details about substation V, I, pf, frequency and energy consumed.
