This week, the UK government published their response to the consultation that ran over the summer. Basically, they asked how smart metering should be implemented in the UK, offered some proposals, and invited anyone to tell them what they think.
In case I hadn’t already convinced people that I was a geek, I read through the Government response paper. It basically reiterates the proposals that were outlined before the summer, summarises the responses that they received, and states the decisions that they have reached as a result.
Is it really very geeky that I found this interesting?
I wanted to highlight a few bits in particular…
… mandate a roll out of electricity and gas smart meters to all homes in Great Britain with the aim of completing the roll out by the end 2020 …
In case you missed all the press about this in the past week, the plan is still that we’re all getting smart meters, and it’ll happen in the next ten years.
There was a lot of discussion about how this information could be used to make a difference. 
Once you answer that, a target line is added to each graph. The target line shows how much electricity you should use in order to meet your goal.
