Now it was mentioned on You and Yours about a week back amongst other
places. Interestingly its the opposite of my experience with EDF. They told
me the following when I spoke to their team.

at present the current meters have two main problems. They do not comply
with the latest communication standard so other suppliers will be unable to
use them if you switch, and as you are on economy 7 and not dual fuel (ie
electric only), there is currently no solution for your usage profile (posh
name for me being an awkward bugger with no gas)

I also enquired about getting an audio enabled remote unit. They told me
that they do not keep stocks of these units but would swap out an ordinary
one for blind users if requested. The Offgen folk have already told me that
the talking remote units are out there and ready to go, so some
contradiction there too.
I suspect the real reason here is that they just want to show they are
trying and hence they will hit what they consider the low hanging fruit
first.
Cynical me?

Got an elderly friend who categorically does not wish to have a smart
meter fitted. EDF have apparently sent letters and are getting rather
stroppy.

Can't be enforced, can it? Anyone else in a similar situation?
