Thats just saying that the new deals will be available for you to
sign up
for if you like them, not that you will have to sign up for those
deals if
you have a smart meter. Obviously a smart meter is needed to be able
to bill you like that if you choose to have one of those new deals.
Until they push up the price of non-variable tariffs enough to push
everyone to variable ones.

Well if they do then you will want a smart meter.

There are some smart meter tariffs that benefit some of the consumers,
like the free days and electric car charging ones.

If you are unlucky they won't benefit you.
