I’ve not read this thread from the beginning, so excuse me if I put my foot in it.
Waiting for new smart meters to be installed in my new build; I hadn’t been informed when I moved in i had them and since found out the gas meter was no so smart, so both are being upgraded to the latest spec, whatever that might be.
ive decided to continue with smart meters, primarily to monitor my electrical usage.
However, it’s not without the negatives I’ve read elsewhere. Problems with poorly or even dangerous installs. 5g disruption of CU RCD’s, causing nuisance tripping. Suggestion that Smart meters might be used to charge different rates for fuels for different times it’s used, primarily allegedly for these fuel suppliers to make money, and prevent premature failure of our ageing electrical supply network. The later being a cheaper way to fix the problem.
As time moves on, with electric vehicle charging, feed back into the system from them and the use of power walls and pv, we do need to move forward though.
