The Government is considering giving energy networks the power to switch off a household’s energy supply without warning or compensation.
These include giving networks the right to decide when they consider the grid to be in a state of ’emergency’ and the power to switch off high usage electrical devices such as electric vehicle chargers and central heating systems in British homes.
Under the plans all homes would need to have a third generation smart meter installed, to include a function that allows meters in the home to receive and carry out orders made by the energy networks.
Sources close to discussions told us that government is ‘open’ to proposing legislation to support these powers.
Another step step towards new world order.
