I don’t understand what point you’re trying to make.
You are paying for the meter installs going on regardless of you having your head in the sand on the matter - it's not tenuous it's a fact. Your choosing to ignore it your paying for it as is every other grid connected user in the UK.
So if you are paying for it, you may as well have one. It’s not like you get a discount for opting out.
Do you get a rebate for providing free labour to the electric company while doing your own meter reading ? -while simultaneously being charged for the smart meter installs going on across the country.
You're still charged for the meter installs going on across the country whether or not you read the meter yourself...
I don’t really understand the angst over smart meters.
Because if they've installed one and it doesn't work then it means Bill Gates is using all the bandwidth to track the microchip in your arm.
The problem with smart meters is you think they are working and they are not . If you don’t throughly check your bills and see that it’s estimates based on estimates then they could be way off . I was a bit lapse with it and didn’t check throughly until my bill went up to £950 a month . It was a mistake on their part but I assumed that the smart meters were connected when they were not .

oh i know that - my question was for cougar to clarify how he thought it worked.
I like my smart meter - until i got it they were not paying me for my generation likewise i get rebates based on using less power at certain times.
Bill last month(December) was £16.86. without my smart meter it would have been £85

I don't know. I don't overly care, there's little I can do to change it. I'm assuming from your question that the cost is passed back to the consumer somehow either directly or indirectly, but then isn't everything? 🤷♂️
Looks like ours has partially registered with Octopus now.
Their App is showing electricity usage by day for this week (which is correct), but also says 'We can't connect to your smart meter yet'!
Getting there....
