Didn't I warn about this last week ?

And last year ?

And 5 years ago ?

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?

They were certainly around when I was, as a student, working at an
engineering manufacturer in Edinburgh - 1959.
