Re: The energy crisis
We had frost on our car this morning and the garage roof is still covered even though it's in the sun.
The central heating has come on and, even though the temp outside is due to reach a heady 9°C by lunch time, I'm not letting John anywhere near the CH remote control to turn the heating down..... so there!!!!!
Cranky old lady mode fully engaged.

"Reviewing" could also include accelerating the build, not necessarily just cancelling - at one of the places I worked, we used to review our "Five Year Plan" every year, because things changed year to year, and some stuff got higher priority (and funding), some got less, some got cancelled, and some new stuff got added.
Seems a fairly sensible approach to me…

But not the sarcasm! Fair to point out that Hugh said something that makes sense.

Re: The energy crisis
So we must have a Smart meter to qualify for the money off energy scheme? Less than half of the UK currently have a smart meter, I'm not planning on getting 1 installed for this.

I do not and no way no how do I want one hahaha
As soon as everyone has one tiered tariffs will become the norm and you will be charged more at peak times. They could change the prices multiple times a day even. Hate the idea

And those without smart meters are likely to end up having a higher tariff instead to make up for it.

Re: The energy crisis
I've scrolled through the menus on our electricity smart meter and it has four different totalisers each for a separate tariff. Currently is defaulted to rate #1
( Button B rotates the menus, button A scrolls)

Just because a smart meter has a particular feature, doesn't mean they are allowed to use it without rules.
