Been thinking that as well, just their letter ticked me offrefuse it pete. if they offer it for free, then there's got to be some sort of a catch somewhere.
Did you read the smart meter terms and conditions? My supplier hid them behind a maze of links and it was very difficult to get all the information, but after reading them I'd never agree to having a smart meter fitted.Got a letter today from my energy supplier, saying that they are in the process of installing Smart meters to all of their Customers,
What if they are able to change remotely the reading of the meter and charge you whatever they wanted?How we can prove that you haven’t used all that energy?My reply is the same as I posted,nothing to do with good or bad payers
The likelihood of demand outstripping supply in the near future on a regular basis is very possible,rationing of that demand may entail restricting availability either through varying tariffs at different times or even cutting the power to households if the problem becomes severe
The cost of the meter and the install is passed on to the customer via billing, they won't be losing out I can tell you that.refuse ill tell you what the real catch is
why does no one ever mention the real danger of smart meters?
why are the power company spending so much on em?
tip it aint so you can have a silly box on table to tell you how much juice your kettle takes because you cant work out what kwh and how may watts your kettle takes
what the only thing a smart meter can do that is of any use to the electric company
that a normal meter cant
They can do time based charging
when they get enough of em fitted
watch how much peoples bills go up at peek times when there all in house and need the power most and the introduce different rates at different times of the day
that's there plan
Are you quite sure on that?I have had EON contact me by phone, letter and email telling my meter is being phased out and must be replaced, none of this is true.

Why would your bill increase? You remain on the exact same tariff as the current classic meter so pay the same KWH unit price and standing charge.If you get a smart meter? Be prepared for a larger power bill !
Speak to anyone whom has one,
unless you use little or no power during peak period.

This is related to the remote switching of appliances,it is however relevant to whether a smart meter is likely to have the facility and the capability of load switching
To meet this challenge, Landis+Gyr have developed the L550 Remote Load Switch, which together with the smart metering solution will enable the utility to disconnect the household load remotely from the smart meter in the street kiosk.
Yes, the technology exists, I don't reject that it does, but it's not in the smart meters that are currently being deployed and therefore is not something to cause concern for UK consumers at this time.
The Remote Load Switch solution is therefore a means for any smart meter that has an auxiliary contact (installed outside the house) to disconnect up to 40 Amp household load/s (situated inside the house)
No doubt they'll be using diesel generators running on cheap fuel that the oil companies have got to get rid of somehow, now that everybody is vilifying diesel vehicles.I know of one Private company which is constructing 42 mini power stations around the U.K. intending to sell the electricity they produce to the National grid.
I am sure there are others.
Gas.No doubt they'll be using diesel generators running on cheap fuel that the oil companies have got to get rid of somehow, now that everybody is vilifying diesel vehicles.
Could you please explain to me why after having a Smart meter fitted your bill will increase?If you get a smart meter ? They be pre-pared to see a bigger electricity bill. YES ! you can refuse to have one, they make it sound like it is compulsory, or in your best interests, but we all know it's clearly in there interests, so they can make much more money.
