There is nothing Smart about this meter, the term was taken from Smart Grid, an idea for a system to be integrated into every consumer unit and switch gear across the UK, deactivating unrequired usage during power-grid failures, etc., From articles written by poverty Charites, and the Rowntree’s foundation, this is just another attempt to cut of those in abject poverty who do not have the finances to pay. It is simply a ‘Poverty’ meter, to get around the old welfare laws that can protect the sick, homeless, destitute, and those in poverty in line with the Department of Work and Pensions. No evidence to cooperate this based on Energy4 helping clients using old meters vs New Smart Meters. New property developments require thicker insulated walls to improve commercial properties EPC rating to C, B, and eventually A. Therefore this makes Smart Meters redundant. Smart Meter was coined from Smart Consumer Unit to help shutdown electricity requirements during power shortages. This idea created in the 1980s was never followed through as it would give a requirement that only the Hot water, and Refrigeration of each property would be permitted, to do this separate ring-mains around a property would be required. The Government has failed to upgrade the Electrical installation regulations to make this possible.
