Re: Electric Smart Meters
FYI, the Utility companies don’t particularly want to install Smart Meters - it’s costing them a fortune, and they get fined* by HMG if they don’t meet target numbers.
Quote:
Suppliers have been told by the Government to try to install smart meters in all the UK’s 50 million homes and businesses by the end of 2020. If they fail to do enough, they face fines of up to £7 billion.
However, customers can refuse to have the new technology, and suppliers are becoming desperate to persuade more people to sign up.

*for example, Npower was fined £2.4 million in September 2018 for not meeting Smart Meter installation targets, EDF was fined £350k in June 2018, SSE was fined £700k in April 2019, & BG £4.5 million in 2017.
