I stopped funding these charlatans nearly 3 years ago. Never let anyone in to read the meter. Had zero contact with EDF in that time. I haven't received a single communication from them since before Christmas. Here's a fun fact. You are, perfectly legally, allowed to install you own meters. Electricity and gas is already paid for by the government. 'Energy suppliers' do not supply energy. They're brokers. Since I stopped funding this mafia, energy prices have nearly tripled. Have wholesale energy prices tripled?
Thankyou for this. I do hope Mr O' Shea and the other gangsters mentioned in the article watches his back wouldn't it be awful if a Luigi Mangione type decided to act as judge, jury and executioner?
The Daily Beagle covered the more violent and dangerous aspects of the spy meter rollout by noting in some instances the electricity companies physically broke into people's homes to forcefully install the meters. It also seemed to be responsible for the Maui fires where there was an aggressive adoption:
In my opinion any genuine political party needs to make banning spy meters a key policy, and implement a mandated reversal, an installation of true analogue meters again, none of that 'pretend disabling' of the spy meter crap.
energy companies must be stopped from badgering people to get a smart meter they are relentless in doing so..perhaps a petition on the uk parliament petition page???
Excellent article there's also plans to use Smart Meter data to automatically calculate your Energy Performance Certificate, as I covered here:

Yup. This is the direction we were going here in the states. The whole apparatus has to be torn down.
