No Smart Meter

dcbwhaley over 3 years ago

I am unable to have a smart meter because my meter board is not big enough.

What can I do about this or am I to be forever denied the benefits of smart metering?

It also begs the question of why the spec for the smart meters didn't insist that the have the same footprint and cable entries as the meters that they are replacing. If more volume is needed they could be deeper rather have a larger footprint. Though one expects electronic kit to get smaller not larger with each generation.

the ones who benefit most from smart meters are the DNO's/grid. if you wanted a smart meter to check your own consumption, you can buy energy monitors from Amazon that clip over the tails from around £70, far cheaper than moving the CU or re-designing the smart meter to fit your property!
