In which case, if you've had no contact from your own electricity supplier about this (you do have a supplier? you're not sub-metered?), I'd start by speaking to the letting agent and see if this is something they've arranged.

I'm with Tomato Energy so know it won't be them, going to wait to see if I get a reply from Stark Connect before involving the letting agency.  The email did contain my name address & MPAN number.

ask them for a half current meter...

HillStreetBlues

Had a reply from Stark,

Good morning

Thank you for your email, this is a contractual upgrade of your electrical meter.

Totally ignoring the question I asked "who had instructed them"

TheMilkmansDad

the answer is tomato energy. Does your tariff require a smart meter? Do you have one already?

I don't have one, I thought it could be TE but considering they fitted a whole  9 smart meters last year I discounted it.
Personally I thought it's a simply question to ask, a question I would ask anyone that wanted to enter my home.

What's the difference between that and a "normal" smart meter?

Seems I was wrong Tomato must be starting to install smart meters.
