Hi
I have been bombarded with phone calls and letters telling me their engineers (electrical supply company) will be in my area installing smart meters.
My matra is "I don't want one and I will change supplier if I have to to avoid having one." If pushed I elaborate that everyone I know who has had one their bills have increased and I already have a power meter monitoring my usage.
Now it transpires that 4 million smart meters in the UK could be faulty and overcharging people and only working in dumb mode. Each meter has a personality module in it, (SIM card type thing.) and your supplier can alter your tariff at will turn you off individually or control the maximum load you can use.. When they're working properly.
There haven't been any updates on the news about what they intend to do about it yet.
