Anyone who carries a smartphone, credit card or oyster card who is worried about a gas, electricity or water meter hasn't been paying attention.

The issue is without a smart meter you often aren’t allowed access to better tariffs.
I have an EV so if I want Octopus go or intelligent octopus then I have to have a smart meter, they won’t allow those tariff’s without one.
My variable tariff was going up and up, so I got put on Octopuses tracker tariff which follows the wholesale energy prices. Gas is back under £0.06p and electricity approx £0.23-26p per kWh - I also needed a smart meter to get that tariff.
My bills are back around the £200 mark now - I had massive reluctance to getting a smart meter but it’s worked out well for me so far.

I guess once these larger energy payments and mortgage and loan interest increases start to bite, they will have to give up on their pretendy 0.1% growth bullshit, as the economy starts heading down the pan tout suite.

If it was me, a monthly submission of the meter reading is the path I'd take.
Smart Meters are riding on the image of smart phones - which every user feels are akin to the second coming of the Lord.
Not true? Go without your smart phone for a month (maybe 40 days and 40 nights would be more appropriate) then get back to me.

COOL HAND LUKE 7:12 Sat Feb 25 Re: Energy Bills Just remember - once you let them fit a Smart Meter, your bill can literally be HOWEVER MUCH THEY WANT IT TO BE...
Have always suspected that but I guess someone could work it out from KW hours and a bit of maths?

EDF keep ringing me to get a smart meter installed, you think I’m better off submitting a reading every month and not getting a smart one?

Sadly not surprised, last month they charged me £79.32 for a mere 689 kwh gas. That's just putting the heating on maybe 3 or 4 times a week for an hour or two if it goes below 15c.

Jesus! After reading a few of these posts I'll stop whinging about power bills here in NZ. Got a big old drafty house and bills are around 100 quid a month in summer and 150 in winter, for both gas and electric.
If it's cold, you just go out and shag a sheep don't you??

That's the risk you run when you post up a link instead of cut and pasting a load of shit and passing it off as your own opinion.

So pleased the Tories are not changing the regulatory algorithm that says when wholesale prices skyrocket the utilities profits, which are a fixed percentage of wholesale prices, can also skyrocket. Shell £50 Bn, BP £32 Bn. In Sunak and the Tories we believe. Suck it up.
