Our online article 'Smart move' addressed the government's plans to install smart meters in UK homes so occupants can view their energy use.rnI doubt the effectiveness of this initiative - the main benefit is that it will allow us to gauge our usage. I am very aware of this already - any meter will show usage and the quarterly bill tells you if you've done well or not in this matter. Additionally, the power companies often read the meter incorrectly or just estimate it - either way you pay excessively unless you keep on top of it yourself.
