Why am I being harassed to get a smart metre?

Verdigris

I'm waiting for this to be raised by my supplier but they don't seem to be coordinated with the infrastructure. Our meter is at least 40 and probably well over 50 years old so long overdue for replacement if you check the guidelines.

It may have been refurbished and recalibrated. There will/should be a sticker on it giving the refurb date.

I think they are concentrating on voluntary smart meter fits. They'll only get round to end-of-life replacements when they get short of work.
