you think those savings will be passed down to the customer?

Of course, the savings are made by the customer not the energy company :rolleyes:

Seeing as we're in the territory of wild speculation (confession - I know precisely nothing about smart meters, but never let that stop me commenting anyway) - think of all the money they'll save on meter readers, which will translate into reduced energy bills.

privacy for one, i dont need providers monitoring and logging my usage and as a result my household habits(i cant find the detaila but i think the meter is polled every couple of minutes), after that i doubt that this data will be protected.
two way communication, if you have a dispute with provider you can have your electricity shut of remotely. we will also be footing the bill for this for the next 20 years for the install of these meters
i also do not see this resulting in any cost saving as they claim it will

Dont worry they barely care about your usage.

How is remotely shutting down different from a fella walking up and shutting ya off

This has to be up there with the silliest threads.

Why in the jaysus would a new meter bother you.
