You seem to have missed this in the text you snipped:
q
Under the plans all homes would need to have a third generation smart
meter installed, to include a function that allows meters in the home to
receive and carry out orders made by the energy networks.
/q


Its going to need more than a smart meter to carry out these orders.


No,. They simply disconnect the premises


Not a good guess given what seems to me clear language in the document
...."to allow Distributors control of consumer devices (such as Electric
Vehicles) connected to Smart Meter infrastructure"..."customers
participation in these arrangements is voluntary" ...using "Han
Connected Auxiliary Load Control Switches (HCALCS)".
