Smart Meters

[Margaret Pilkington]

So Entwisi…it is a benefit to the supplier and generator rather than to the consumer(who is after all, paying a green levy.
There is no such thing as free when it comes to energy.
So smart meters are promoted as being free, but we are all paying for them.

 

[entwisi]

depends to what level you take a benefit to a supplier to be ultmately passed back in terms of lower prices than would happen without that efficiency/saving... its sliding doors scenario though as you wont know either way as the other option is never followed

My take on all this SMART METER talk is simply this. I cannot think of any Governments giving the surfs anything that benefited them. The "SMART" meters are there to stop the surfs from fiddling the meters when the gas and electric prices go through the roof.
