Whether its a good or bad thing depends entirely on the details, as is so often the case.

Eg if it costs £1.50 per appliance (custom chip, relay) and doesnt make any noticeable diffrence to the end user, then it can cut generating & distribution costs a bit, and from that bills.

But if it costs £40 a pop (I cant see how it would), messes with your dinner and defrosts your food, and end users are legally required to use it, then its nothing but a stupid pest and an intrusion into basic liberty.
