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.


I got to the point today where I have to choose my next tariff, and
they have tightened the Smart Meter point:

"We'll contact you to discuss Smart

By choosing this tariff you agree to be contacted for the installation
of a smart meter and, where eligible, have one installed for each fuel
we supply".

Which sounds as though they WILL install smart meter if I choose this
tariff. No thanks.

You can always change supplier and find one that does not force you down
that road. My outgoing supplier's tariff was cheaper than the previous
year but meant installing a smart meter. No thanks, I jumped ship!!
