Smart meters, less smart companies

It hasn't happened yet. 30th June this year is the newly scheduled date. Everyone with an RTS meter is being compelled to get a 'Smart' one. Let's see how well that goes then...

They "got" me! So that's one out of umpteen thousand/million. Not sure I was compelled. I didn't challenge the "we need to change your meter" request.

Approx £9.30 savings (they say) since I entered the scheme (July last year). Not looking promising for the average savings then

Higher savings can only be made on higher usage. If you are lower than average usage you'll make lower than average savings (but the proposed changes to how standing charges are billed might be to your benefit).

Yes, but as I pointed out before, quite often the usage data goes AWOL just at the time the Peak Save is operating or there is confusion over GMT and BST. I've tried complaining. It gets me nowhere and i can do without the aggravation! I shall look into the standing charges when the new tariffs arrive - assuming I'm able to switch to such a tariff. There are often "terms and conditions" which either don't apply or I don't like. I'll run the numbers through a spreadsheet - if and when.
