Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
You will only ever really read "horror stories" just like you will for "standard" meters.
Working meters (i.e. the vast vast majority) are not news.

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
Scottish Power have just informed me that I could save money by signing up to their new Fixed Tariff.
Standard Tariff = £1898.49 pa.
Fixed Tariff = £1902.02 pa.
"£50 exit fee per fuel if you change supplier"

Not anymore it seems, apparently as of 1st September, they will charge you the exit fee if you are less than 50% of the way into your existing deal.

I suspect a lot of people have been switching regularly, and they have decided to clamp down.

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
Yes, and they were being more generous before as the smart tariffs were considered beta and they didn't want people to get trapped onto something that may have been unreliable.

Scottish Power seem to tie their fixed tariffs into Cancer Research UK, so a big no from me.
If I want to give to charity, I'll do it on my terms, not be forced into it as part of my energy bill.
