Re: Smart Meters

Ooooooo.  Thanks for the input here.

East midlands - check!
First utility - check!

So it seems that somebody at the developer has been exercising a
little forward thinking here.  Wouldn't life be easier if in times
like this they communicated this down to the customer facing staff.
Certinly I consider fitting a smart meter and hooking it up to a
compatible supplier a positive selling point.

Roll on accurate monthly billing.
