Eon came to install a smart meter in the cellar. But there was not

cellar, below ground level, etc.) So, the meter was not installed.

Surely, there must be some simple solution to this? The meter is a
couple of metres from an air brick, so why not run an aerial lead
through that?

My understanding is that whilst Gas smart meters are battery powered,
the electricity ones are mains-powered.

Is that the case? and if so, who pays for powering them? probably
insignificant, but just wondering.
