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

Like they’ll be sitting in a room looking at your electricity usage and guessing what you’re up to?

Do you buy the expensive tinfoil or the cheap one ?

You know they can shut you off if you have a dispute with them without having a smart meter
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.

you think those savings will be passed down to the customer?
Now you’re talking. So where’s the invasion of privacy?
alright, take johny sitting on the dole in a council house, which he occupies solely. if he claims not to be working bit his kettle goes off at 7am and the electricity usage is non existentant untill he return from work at 7pm sticks on the oven telly and kettle again. that can be used to flag him for someone claiming and working
whether what he is doing is legal or not, he is being monitored and that data is being logged and can be analysed for such purposes

Also stop using a cell phone. This tracks OPs every movement 24/7. Then there the old credit or debit card. This leaves a trail of where you have been & what you have spent your money on right down to how many cups of coffee you buy.
I'm looking forward to the installation of my smart meter and the eventual roll out of different tariffs for different times of the day. The money saved with lower off peak tariffs will more than pay for the smart meter.

It doesn't cost the last in the office anything to send someone out
fuel and time are free now? never been cut off but there also be a question of access to the property/meter? not sure if you get cut off at the pole or at the meter it?

A company can't share this information with the social welfare. This has been illegal long before GDPR. However revenue can look at your bank account and all the transactions made by card. This is a more scary thing than a smart meter imo

your right. but we have the option to use cash, turn of your phone, use a vpns or script blockers
if people want smart meters thats fine, but i think we should have the option to opt out from having our individual usage being logged
you will have to adjust your daily routines to benefit from off peak tarrifs, and as most work 9 to 5 or there abouts mornings and evening will be charged at a premium. so will probably benefit shift workerks at best. the trial carried out show a 2% saving a year from using a smart meter, for the sake of 25 euro a year i would rather not have my usage tracked, take away the 5.50 you are paying anualy to have the meter install you will be saving 20 quid
your usage will be tracked by the minute so you can benefit from the new tariffs that will be introduced.
that will be monitored and stored somewhere
how that data will be used in future isnt in your hands, yes it might be protected by GDPR for now but laws can change
i was providing an example of how the data collected can be used against you and how it can be used to invade your privacy
