UKHotViews:

Smart Meter Madness (7)

It wasn’t as great a disgrace as the infamous 9/11 ‘Good day to publish bad news’ fiasco. But the current Government’s attempt to hide the bad news over the UK smart meter rollout only reinforces my view that the programme is perilously perched on the precipice between farce and tragedy.

With full credit to the Evening Standard for alerting the British public to the story, it seems that the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy chose to publish its latest damning indictment on the programme just hours after the results of the US presidential election even though the report was written in August.

The report, Smart Meter Roll-out Cost Benefit Analysis comes in two parts totalling over 120 pages and simply serves to reduce the mythical net savings of the programme by some £400m. I urge you NOT to read the report as you will lose the will to live as surely as did I. It contains detailed assumptions, calculations and estimates for a business case that never made sense from day one.

Let me explain. The calculations for the net present value of the costs and benefits of the programme are based on an 18-year horizon from 2011, which takes us to 2029, assuming the rollout completes in 2020.

It can't and won't!

Why not? See Shock horror delay on UK smart meter rollout and work back.

Very simply, the Government must stop this madness NOW. They should not spend a further penny of taxpayers’ money chasing this impossible dream. By all means let the energy companies continue to install smart meters at their own pace and cost. But the plan to create an integrated ‘smart’ energy network for the UK is as fanciful and flawed as was the NHS National Programme for IT.

I thought so - prompted it by topping up during the week - although still down as chased price higher when it spiked - doh!! Was out on the bike last weekend with a guy who founded the business that supplies the smart boxes to SMS - he says the business is booming

[wjccghcc] 31/10/2016 21:44

Actually they increased the number of shares they hold, but it decreased as a % possibly due to the extra shares issued for the last earnout.
