UK’s #SmartMeter targets leaving energy users short-changed, says Martin Lewis

I’d suggest shifting firms’ targets from smart meter installations to the overall number of ‘working’ smart meters, which would incentivise firms to do both installations and repairs

Nearly 4m smart meters are malfunctioning in the UK, leaving some householders facing life-changing bills, according to figures released by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero

Repairs are slow, if they happen at all, as resources are focused on installs, leaving consumers frustrated and at risk of misbilling and further problems
