Thats what we have here also. I found several stories of people who's energy bills were much higher after installing the smart meters. Some of this can be attributed to the energy companies that push them. The company in question is known for its lousy customer services and administrative mess. But there are also some cases where the meter itself went wrong.
We nearly ended up with legislation that made these things mandatory with very large fines for the people that refused them. Luckily this was dismissed and we now can choose otherwise.
If government and big companies try to force these on us without any tangible benefits for the end-customer you should start getting worried.
