smart meters

Additional Information

The government wants consumers to invest £11bn in the Smart Meters for homes. There has been no public consultation. There are concerns about wireless emissions from Smart Meters but UK research isn’t complete; worries about data security, hacking and grid security; about privacy and the future use of Smart Meter data as a basis for taxation and levies; concerns about Smart Meters cutting off or restricting supplies to homes.

Smart Meters allow variable tariffs (prices per kWh). There’s no guarantee that present tariffs will go on. DECC think Smart Meters might save consumers just 3%, perhaps 5%. For £11bn ?

The Germans decided that Smart Meters simply aren’t worth the money. This Government could make exactly the same decision.

Parliament must review this extravagant project, review the full facts and introduce regulatory safeguards for the consumer - especially on variable tariffs.
