One major complication : many households with smart meters ,that would want to participate in this excellent scheme, are frustrated by being unable to monitor easily their own performance.
This is because the visual display unit installed in their home, to enable them to monitor usage easily, no longer works. And there is no requirement for the energy provider to repair or replace this equipment once it is over 12 months old. This is a problem for 1 in 8 households ostensibly within the smart meter system.
