I'll have a chat wi my colleague Brin who's a bit of an expert on smart meters as we work with some of the manufacturers. Seems from this page it's an issue with calibration changing over time, as with lots of measuring instruments, so I guess energy suppliers and also the network companies want to know more accurately how much energy is being used. Fully agree it's not a helpful way of communicating and the suppliers are digging themselves a hole, again!

They were sending the police with the linky (smart metres) installers
This was for those that refused to have them fitted.

Whilst at the same times other European countries like Germany were not forcing them on households.

Gone are the times when the national grid could predict a surge at half time of a match or something similar.
They?d just open the valves on a hydroelectric plant to cope.

Soon they?ll need a well limed gust of wind or the sun to shine at night!
