My electricity supplier has recommended a tariff which would save me
money over the year, but signing up for it also includes this as part
of the T&Cs:

"By signing up to the tariff you are registering your interest for a
Smart Meter. This means we may contact you in the future to discuss a
smart meter installation as and when you become eligible."

Would this lock me into having to have a Smart Meter? I see no way that
I can have this tariff and exclude this clause. I bet they would say
that I was eligible as soon as I signed up.

Geting away from smart meters for awhile I've just been
reading about the accuracy of meters. Of the people who
complain about the size of their bill 24% of the meters
tested were found to be inaccurate. These are UK Gov
figures for 2016. There are approx 56 million meters in
the UK so could add up to a huge overcharge if the
readings are high, but they don't say whether the meters
were up or down

Its unlikely most of them were reading too low, because those
who had those are unlikely to have complained about their meter.
