Re: It's about money
I moved my tariff last year and discovered many suppliers would accept us unless we took a smart meter.
Told uSwitch (or whoever) there wasn't a snowballs chance in hell of that happening so was pretty much locked out of the big 6 (and others).
Ended up going with ESB Energy (an irish outfit i believe) since they didn't require a smart meter.
I wonder if thats inline with the regulatory framework?
ie Only to provide tariffs that are dependant on allowing a smart meter in your home.
If it is it looks like this is how they'll get us holdouts.
Wanna switch?, Smart meter bitch!
