I am in the process of changing to Octopus Energy and they have reported an issue with remotely reading my two meters, which will take them some time to resolve as there is a backlog and they need an experienced person to investigate? Meanwhile I'll be on their standard tariffs. Any views??
L174559 sounds like you may have an SMETS1 meter that isn't connected to the DCC, will mean a meter swap if that's the case.
L174559 For years with Scottish Power I resisted their attempts to give me a smart meter. After reading a technical blog on Octopuses website, I realised that they, alone, knew what they were doing. So I switched to Octopus and they installed a smart meter on 1st April 2021 (!).
However, when the guy arrived, I mentioned that I was going to have solar and a battery. He then said: "Oh, you won't want this meter, then" and went and retrieved a different meter from the van.
I ended up with a KAIFA MA120 SMETS2.
But it is a complicated business...
