Should I accept? What are the Pro's and Cons?
They add conditions to my contract, e.g. 1) Prepayment instead of
credit payment 2) I have to agree to let them "MANAGE" my gas and
elect supply. Call me old fashioned, but I don't like the sound of that.

Some Q & As here

http://www.britishgas.co.uk/energy-e...ters/faqs.html

Looks like everyone's going to get them by 2020 anyway.

Bet they don't do ours. The supply is medium pressure and National Grid
and BGas don't seem able to agree on who pays for alterations. After 15
years, BG wanted to change our battery operated meter but failed on 3
occasions because NGs pipe work does not suit the new meter. NG man on
call out told them to change the battery so, in the end, that is what
they did:-)

I like one reason given for needing a remote controlled gas valve.. to
prevent customer overspend:-)

I bumped into an interesting electric tariff *economy 18?* on holiday.
AFAIU no electric heating during peak demand periods.
