The main issue I have with them is that the provider has control over, for example, one's hot water cylinder, which they turn off at times of high load. It's called ripple control (just when a hot shower in the morning is what u need, on a frosty morning - and a cold shower is not).
Plus I know of a guy who purchased some sanding equipment and started sanding and painting his car, who got a police visit, because the provider reported him as 'using lots of power (suspicion of a weed farm), lol - not mentioning that most indoor growers now use LED and cannot now be detected thus, LOLOL'.
It's all rather creepy. In our own house we made sure our HWC is hard-wired into the mains, so that it cannot be 'turned off' by a third party).
However, I would be interesed on updates regarding the matter. Is anyone following this guy?
