Smart Meters - Now a shortage (of display units)

AncientMariner
Back in November, we had smart meters fitted in an investment property owned by my wife.


The two meters went in, the Engineer kindly fitted an isolator which I had ready to hand and then advised that he was out of internal displays, but that one would follow in a few weeks.


Emails, phone calls and 6 months later have just been advised that rather like airline seats, the supplier had not ordered the same number of internal displays as Smart meters and now that they have changed to fitting SMETS2 meters they do not have any displays available!


Problem is that both meters are fairly inaccessible and whilst both communicate for billing purposes are not that easy to read due to the requirement to hold a torch in one hand, a pen and paper in the other and with the third, press the appropriate key button to obtain a reading.


So, after today's call from the supplier in response to a formal complaint, the house is on the list for a SMETS2


Progress........

    the renewal heat imitative is partly responsible for the current state of affairs in Northern Ireland.



    Although the NI had their own peculiar version of the RHI scheme - most others don't suffer from anything like the same flaws.

     

    you can't get away from the fact that smart meters only benefit the suppliers



    A bit odd then that this whole process is being driven by the government (who presumably have some interest in keeping prices low for voters) - and we see the same things abroad even in areas were there isn't the competitive market for electricity supply we have here.
