Gosh they are bringing utilities metering into the 21st century (shock horror).
Turn your electric off, make £££!!!

I don't know whether you had noticed but it's been going on for the last century. Try charging your phone without it.
Yes, sort of. Under normal market conditions it would save the energy companies money and indirectly the consumers. Now it saves the tax payers because of the price cap.
And it rewards those who don't use power as they get paid money directly. But that's less than the overall saving to taxpayers/consumers.
Yes, it's complicated. But if you haven't signed up it won't be costing you anything as it pays for itself and it'll probably save you a bit in the long run.

I wonder if there has been an increase in cases of "abstraction " of electricity?
No doubt you'll dredge the internet sewer until you find the right garbage that suits.

Another one of your chat up lines Harry, you old devil ...

Shame they haven't done the same thing with the generating capacity.
For the first time in 44 years the UK was a net exporter of electricity in 2022. UK demand fell by 18% and the nation's power consumption approaches [a level] last seen in the 1980s, according to analysis by researchers at the Uni of Brum.
By far the biggest exports went to France using an undersea power cable (to help 'em out after their nuclear plants required extensive maintenance).
Renewable power generation also reached record levels, with wind generation achieving a 24% increase on 2021. However, fossil fuel power stations also increased usage (without the problems sustained by the French), and but for shortages of gas and oil it could have been the first year Britain's combined wind, solar, and hydro would've generated more electricity than FF power stations - a milestone that'll certainly be reached by 2025 as more renewables come on stream.*

Is that like a short piece of 25mm cable and some big HD clamps?
