what will they do about people with dumb meters ?


Or those with a non-domestic load (farm use). I was never going to use
household energy for vehicle charging anyway:-)

Somebody with up to date knowledge can confirm but industrial tariffs
have had *off peak* charging for 40 years and load shedding by agreement
more recently.

I'm pretty sure load shedding agreements go back 50 years. And heavy
industry sometimes had their own power stations: remember the hyperbolic
cooling towers at the steelworks next to the Tinsley viaduct?
