Smart meter scam ?
Got sick of the missus whinging about the power bill so decided to dedicate some time looking into it. The billing process to start with , the consumption will come later.
We have two meters , one for O/P hot water & one that registers consumption for everything else at O/P , Shoulder & Peak rates. It would seem that the consumer is only given access to the total consumption at the meter. ie by scrolling through the readings I can access Date , Time & total consumption. Now the interesting bit is that the individual readings ( O/P , Shoulder & Peak) reset at the end of each billing period. This would seem to remove the evidence if you had any type of billing dispute. Sure you still have a total consumption reading but no way of reconciling it to the 3 different billing rates.
Now obviously there is no technical reason that all metering could not be available to the consumer so is this a bit of a " cover my arse" type scam ?
