Panorama - The Smart Meter mess

[motorbiking]

In 2022, as the cost of living crisis took hold, magistrates approved more than 1,000 warrants a day. Almost all of these claims are now authorised electronically or over the phone, by specific magistrates courts allocated to each energy company.

Energy company agents apply by telephone and send in large spreadsheets with between 100 and 1000 cases, where customers are told they do have the right to contest the warrant, but many do not respond. The hearings will sign off, issue and send all the electronic warrants in "a maximum of 15 minutes" according to evidence from pilots.

Titter. There is actually more proving you wrong boyo, if you want more punishment.......

No a source. Is all we need.

On the subject to SM's not working, earlier this year I did a CU change, which meant pulling the main fuse.

Before the CU change the SM had never worked.

After the CU change the SM worked properly - so rebooting it seems to be the fix!

Nwgs is a needy troll. Ignore the fool.

The only fool is you.

If it proves you wrong it’s irrelevant, you’ll go 100 pages stating the same thing despite ignoring everything proving you wrong.

If there wasn’t a problem with remote switching smart meters there wouldn’t have been a review, a ban, fines and compensation.

We have PV so I'm not so sure that we would make big savings and also as most of our usage for lecky is when we are cooking dinner around 6pm, the time when lecky is likely to be higher then would there be a saving?

The only way to fairly compare it, is to work out what you paid for the past twelve months, then use Octoaid, to work out the average cost per Kw, over the same period, in your part of the country.

Doesn't change the fact that you are no more likely to be switched or disconnected if you have a sm as opposed to a dumb meter.

 

[motorbiking]

Something neither of you have provided any evidence to back up.

It's nobody's job to educate you.

Simple Noseall intentionally missing the point.

How do you get Octo-Aid to give a figure for the previous 12 months? I can on see figures for the previous month.

That's a much easier question to answer.

I am with Octopus Energy and have been on their tracker tariff over the past 12 months. My total energy cost for the last 12 month period has been £1783, for the previous 12 months I was on the standard cap tariff the total energy bill was £2865.

so no unit costs and how much of that saving was down to actual unit price drops across the board as prices fell ?

Never mind, believe what you want.

Well it's fairly obvious that you and nosenothing were at the end of the queue when they were handing out the flyers for self education tips regarding smart meters

we gather you cant educate as still waiting for your incite on how cadent engineers could fix smart meter problems

A bit clumsy, you need to think of something shorter and snappier.

so you can give us total costs but not your unit costs and usage fair enough
