The Q is why would anyone need a meter reading every 30 mins ?

To see what is taking the power and what its going to cost them.

Exactly! Three months is a very, very long time to wait, to know what
energy you have been using over the preceding 3 months.

It is very reassuring to have a good idea of what the bill will be,
before you actually get it, on a day by day basis.

Yes its nice to know if the daughter has left the fan heater on in her
shed/greenhouse/studio before its been on for a week+ when she next
visits. 35p an hour soon adds up and there is the fire risk too.




If there is no snow or frost on its roof, or it is covered with
birds keeping warm, then that should have alerted you long before a
week is up.
