Wonder if they have a way of metering the electricity we generate then use and are somehow billing us for that. The first smart metre was estimated 10% high and replaced.



It's just a bit "annoying" to see the increase like that. But better than them coming along, finding an issue and trying to claw back an estimate of the under billing.
If you go through the menus on the meter itself using button A to find the appropriate menu and button B to scroll through the values. There will be values for "Import kWh" power from the grid and "Export kWh" power returned to the grid. You should be able to calculate the amount of money represented.
