Paid not to consume electricity...

Looks like the scheme is going forward 

Has anyone heard yet the details of how it will work? ... as (even with a smart meter) they can't measure what you don't use so presumably will try to compare with some kind of "normal" - any idea what that "normal" is likely to be? An average across all customers - or what you actually used the same day the previous week or something like?  I'm just wondering if it might allow the unscrupulous to inflate their usage at certain times to claim the extra money at others...

    without the greens we might destroy our society and our planet a little slower.

    With what is happening in the world today then it might well be pretty fast,

    Most of those environmentalists probably do not actually want to destroy anything but don`t mind hurting a little if it saves the environment

  • This is just re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, with someone making a killing off the back of the exercise.

    The country is being run by deluded idiots! You need a Smart meter and a signed up supplier to take advantage of this lunacy. They reckon at best in the worst case scenario you might save £100 by avoiding using your lecky between 4-9 pm. Is it worth the family arguments and bad moods due to hunger pangs? I think not. People will soon lose interest except of course, for the green zealots.

    As usual, a few well meaning environmentalists have become Useful Idiots after having been hijacked by left wing extremists who wish to reorder society to their own liking.

    Time to break out the candles and return to the stone age.Oh, and don't forget the pitchforks either.

    I wonder how commerce is going to handle this? Cashless society and no card machines working for hours on end.
