I am happy with my existing meter. I read some articles last year where people who got these new meters found that their electricity bill increased after they were installed.

Have you had this job done and are you happy with the result?

@protocal I'm surprised to see you buying into the unsubstantiated claims, aka propaganda, on that ESB site. There is not one single real-world example quantifying the claimed savings or supposed advantages. There is no FAQ, merely justification and defence of the technology used.ESB have an FAQ on their website about the programme.
Now we have a pretty persistent person call to our door and ring and ring our bell from the KN Group
Smart Energy GB’s Smart Energy Outlook research found that 84 percent of customers are pleased with the way the meters are operating, with energy efficiency being cited as one of the major themes of the report. The research also found that 79 percent of customers were encouraged to take steps towards reducing their energy use after having a smart meter fitted.
Frost & Sullivan research analyst Neha Vikash: “Smart meters are required for integration of renewable energy. Europe is focused on meeting the 20-20-20 targets, which is a necessary driver for the increase in renewable energy and the third energy directive targets 80 percent smart meter penetration in the residential sector by 2020.”
You don't need a smart meter to do any of this. 99% of the so-called benefits are achievable with the existing technology.Also looking forward to getting a smart meter in, to be able to see live usage, get away from the estimated bill nonsense, ability to access new tariffs pushing people to use some of the wind energy the country wastes many nights etc.
Can you elaborate?99% of the so-called benefits are achievable with the existing technology.
That's it solved so.!No, everyone, and his dog, knows that coronavirus is caused by 5G
Therefore you have no idea about the supposed benefits. We have demand-based differential pricing right now. ESB networks needs consumer "smart-meters" to measure demand across the network? If that makes the new meters smart, what does that make the current network-level measurements?I did not read the ESB material.
I presume that smart meters will allow differentiated pricing.
So we can better match demand and supply.
