Just thought this article on the shortcomings of some SSE smart meters would be
of interest to consumers contemplating having one installed.
Smart Meter GB, a government agency is keen that all consumers have one
installed by 2020.
Apparently the whole scheme has cost £11 billion pounds so far!
Here is the link to the BBC website article:

Smart Meter or Not So Smart!
In my wisdom I recently agreed to having a smart meter installed later this month by SWALEC (SSE).
However an article in today's Guardian (April 7th 2018) has reaffirmed my initial doubts.
The Guardian consumer champions, Miles Brignall and Rebecca Smithers advises readers to be cautious.
If you do decide to go ahead, ensure that you get a written guarantee that the smart meter will be a second generation Smets 2 version.
They describe this campaign to persuade residents to agree to having smart meters installed as ".. the whole thing is a giant expensive mess"
So far, the smart meter programme has cost £11 billion!
And as you can imagine this is scandalously paid for by all of us through higher electricity bills!
