The passage of the Energy Act 2023 marks a significant development in the world of smart meters. Under this legislation, authorities gain the power to employ “reasonable force” to enter homes and install these meters, enabling them to exert control over energy consumption through a “load control system.” Non-compliance with this directive carries severe consequences, including a financial penalty of £15,000 or even a year of imprisonment.

For many, this new law may raise questions about the extent of control over personal energy use and privacy, as well as the implications of government intervention in individual households. Whether or not these measures align with the choices made by the public remains a pertinent issue.
