To be fair though, the big cock up in smart meter design and availability is
not of the energy companies making. These were supposed to have been
designed years ago by a company who got the contract. Its been a comedy of
errors ever since.

Nearly at the end they ask if you want information collecting every 30
minutes, weekly or monthly (IIRC).

Well, if I'm going to get any value at all I might as well have enough
data to see daily trends.

Hang on, if I ask for 30 minute data capture I have to agree to EDF using
the information to offer me services to improve my energy usage. So
reversing the privacy options that I have selected.

I'm having data collected monthly.

Remind me again how this Smart meter is going to save me money?

The Government is making the energy suppliers roll out smart meters, and
imposes penalties if they fail.

So you are helping your supplier avoid this penalty which may reduce their
costs which they are likely wanting to pass on to you.
