Sent a meter

Steward Lind’s letter ( NZ Herald, April 21) highlights the real reason for “smart” electricity meters” — allowing electricity companies to maximise profits.

There was no mention of the plan he was on but it must be a “controlled” plan. A programmable automatic switch can surely be installed to bypass their supply and ensure he gets his water heated for free?

Energy Minister Megan Woods needs to tell Stewart’s electricity company to cut out using smart meters to rob him blind.

His investment is a waste of time. How “green” is this Government?
