Smart Meter (piloting in 4ways)

[Go to Guy]

Hi Guys,

if anyone can please share data on this gadget. What it look like, upfront costs to the consumer, manufacturer, connection points and perhaps installation diagram (if any).

All media posts have been about what is does (end point or user interface) but no other technical information is ever shared.

...ya but f so how do they choose the subject house then? Any risk to the household if there's any damage to appliance during this period? I'd volunteer but not until all these have been answered. And the shame journalists who write these articles are from same classroom in my view. No additional info...appears all well scripted.

If you can't use your stove/oven/geyser

Only tv internet and pcs

You haven't fixed loadshedding

You are just calling that rose by another name

So then the new game starts
For how long do you have enough power to actually do what needs to be done , so once nobody is without power we will just be branded entitled because we want more than a drip

It's called DSM, which all the Greenies is saying everyone needs to do, that way we can go Renewables

I agree with the greenies notion that we need to cut down on wasteful usage to a certain degree

Forcing more and more people towards gas/braai due to radical reduction 60A to 10A

Environmentally how does that compare i don't know scale does matter the bigger scale production tends to be less polution, percentage wise anyway

They are using this DSM thing as A scapegoat cover for incompetence imo

DSM doesn't equal 60A to 10A

How else would you do it, ask people nicely to not use electricity during peak periods?

Not you, you know what we need... The greenies like Leon who want to throw on wind and solar which requires more DSM
