Default Smart meter installation

Yes left hand right hand middle hand. Nobody seems to have all the parts of
the jigsaw do they?
Typical of a gov scheme, a monumental cock up. Just like the nucclear
reprocessing and decommisioning, the universal credit and the nhs computer
scheme.
a total mess.

The energy suppliers may well be going ahead with smart meters because
they are a condition of their licences from Ofgem.

I had a smart meter installed by Scottish Power as part of a pilot. I
asked where my home energy display was and was told I would not get
one because it was the pilot, not the roll-out. About a year ago I
started getting letters and calls about installation of a smart meter.
I contacted them to say I already have a smart meter. I asked if the
new meter would be first or second generation. If I moved supplier
would it still work? The answer was no. I asked what the benefit was
in changing the meter and they were unable to state any benefit. I
asked it they were planning to use statutory powers of entry if I
refused. They said no. I said in that case having considered the
proposal I was refusing and I have heard nothing since.
