This seems to be the news about Scottish Power's profit in 2015. |

Gosh, a simple question, yet it apparently necessitated patronising 'mansplaining'. |

Energy companies rely on most consumers not looking for better deals each year. |

That would be the Diane Abbot who all the Labour lovies will be voting in on Thursday would it, along with her best mate |

..You missed the bit about the profit being because of LOWER WHOLESALE COSTS |

You really have no idea about corporate finance. £114 million profit for a company this size is nothing. |

Just because Malcolm has a problem it doesn't mean that Smart Meters are rubbish. |

So true Zzzz - and we're all paying for it - apparently (at the moment) £6 a year. |

Being forever cynical if we manage to reduce usage and so pay less the companys will put the price up anyway, we aren't going to be better off in the long run. :-0 |

Thank's Maggie, my supplier has told me they aren't getting a reading, Yes i know it SHOULD be sending readings BUT NOBODY IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. After two & a half years i guess they are not interested as they have got their money for just fitting them. |

Rolo, Malcolm's meter is obviously NOT sending readings automatically. |

Your smart meter should be sending gas/electric meter readings automatically at whatever interval you have chosen. That is the whole point no more estimated bills no more hanging around for the meter man. |

Had the new meters fitted Dec. 2015, two days later gas leaking from a fractured pipe could of blown my house-up, no heating for to days. Had that fixed, six months later it was not sending the reading, so an engineer came & fixed it, BUT I STILL HAVE TO SEND MY READINGS TO MY SUPPIERS. New meters!!! a waste of time & money. |

The only gas we have is the boiler for the central heating (in the garage), no gas actually in the house. Our walls are insulated, as is our loft, we have fairly new double glazing and I think, our monthly bills are quite good. £78 a month for a 4 bed house with two TVs,Two desk top PCs, tumble drier, electric cooker, microwave, washing machine fridge separate freezer and the gas CH, I don't like the cold so the heating is kept reasonably high in cold weather. |
