This is a curious one, as all may not be quite how it's being portrayed in the media.  The installation in question is a large studio, that I believe isn't always occupied.  It may possibly be classed as commercial, rather than domestic.  It is in an area with no signal (something I'm familiar with) yet the supplier went ahead and installed a smart meter anyway.  This was some years ago.  The smart meter has never communicated with the DCC.  No idea whether manual readings were taken and submitted, but what I've read suggests this may not have been done.  EDF seem to have finally caught up with not having any readings and have submitted 15 bills covering usage going back some time.  I've no idea if bills have been paid for the years since the non-functioning smart meter was installed.

This may well be an EDF error, but I think there is an element of doubt as to why the billing error occurred.  I doubt that the truth will ever make it into the media, though.

Ah, nuance.  Something glaringly lacking from media reports nowadays, to everyone's detriment except the few wealthy media bosses who profit from clickbait.

Grayson is a lovely person, met them on a few occasions now.

However I will say this being an artist as Grayson is then things like opening readings and keeping on top of things such as this may not be their priority.

Maybe..
