Look at what an official web site is saying (and this is also being said in those stupide Einstein ads): https://www.smartenergygb.org/smart-meter-benefits Quote:

Well they have already blamed the shortage of 'green' electricity on a lack of wind his year.

Re: The Smart Meter Con
I've just had the fourth phone call from a south asian woman.
"Am I speaking to <insert name>? I am calling on behalf of your energy supplier <insert company name> to arrange a date for the installation of your second generation smart meter." This first 3 couldn't even pronounce my name anywhere near correctly, and the last one gave the wrong energy supplier. |

Anyway, so we have two scams - the meter scam and the South Asian scam scamming the first scam. |
Re: The Smart Meter Con
I really don't see what the con or scam is. We have obviously got a smart meter in our new home. It's ser to report the meter data daily and allows an easier quicker method to see my usage and charges online.

1/ If everyone has a smart meter, tariffs can be adjusted by the hour according to demand. Given that the power companies are profit driven, they will be able to dip into our pockets subject to whatever regulation there may be. 2/ You can be cut off peremptorily (Electricity). What with hacking and political levers that might be applied, this leaves the ordinary people in some potential difficulty. If the above matters were sufficiently prominent in the adverts, I wouldn't mind so much. |
Re: The Smart Meter Con
If those things actually happen or have happened I'm sure we'd have heard of it.
How can they charge a different rate when you are say on a fixed tariff for 2 years or such. |

There is an explanatory article that takes a benign line, versus my cyniciam. https://www.power-technology.com/fea...rding-changes/ The article is well populated with "time-of-use-tariff" references and remote cut-off. |
