Have you seen or heard adverts encouraging you to install a smart meter? Where do they come from? Who pays for them?
Smart Energy GB
Well, a quick search shows they are made by a government quango, Smart Energy GB. And what was Smart Energy GB set up to do?
It’s there, and I quote from AI, although its website says much the same, to ‘inform consumers about the benefits of smart meters and managing household energy budgets’.
Why are the government promoting smart meters? AI says: ‘Governments promote smart meters to improve energy efficiency, provide consumers with tools to manage consumption and save money, and modernize the energy grid to support a transition to renewable energy sources.
‘Smart meters enable automatic meter readings, real-time consumption data, and the development of a flexible, low-carbon energy system that can better integrate intermittent sources like wind and solar power.’
Two-way communication’?
How do Smart Meters modernize the energy grid? AI says: By ‘enabling two-way communication between utilities and consumers’.
Well, that’s economical with the truth. You don’t communicate with the utility company, they interrogate your smart meter which informs on you about your minute by minute electricity consumption.
Why can’t those in power tell the truth? Because they don’t do God any more. It’s all just what they think they can get away with:
Isa 59:4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
‘Flexible, low-carbon energy’
And although the spin is of developing ‘flexible, low-carbon energy’ ‘integrate … wind and solar power’, your Smart Meter neither knows nor cares where your electricity is coming from.
Can they switch you off remotely? Well, only with a court warrant for non-payment. Unless the law is changed some day to enforce electricity use at off-peak periods. Currently, the adverts merely encourage you to do that.
We do that already in our house, but you need an economy seven tariff with slightly less expensive electricity from midnight to seven am to make it just about worth doing.
Even then, you don’t know the peaks and troughs during the day, even if you wanted to. And of course if the elite persist with their obsession with renewable energy, if there were enough of them, smart meters might better enable the phased black-outs they will need. But someone will more likely just pull a big switch in your local power station.
Who is paying for the ads?
So who is paying for all this advertising? Because, bear in mind, promoting smart meters and usage is all Smart Energy GB does. Where is their budget, £38.3 million in 2022, more no doubt today, coming from?
Well, AI says: ‘The budget is primarily funded by contributions from large energy retailers.’ Oh, that’s OK, isn’t it? Hold on.
‘The costs are recovered through standing charges on energy bills.’ So you are funding their campaign for a national smart meter rollout. It’s just more unbiblical taxation. You are paying for government propaganda targeted at you, your family and friends. And there is nothing you can do about it.
The Bible says:
Micah 2:1 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds!
when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.

Bible: Walk at liberty
As it happens, we have a smart meter. When we last did a switch, the new least expensive supplier demanded it. But why can’t they just leave uptake of smart meters to the market?
Why more taxation and a nannying quango?
Why cannot we walk at liberty, as the Bible demands?
Psa 119:45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
This might be a minor matter, but it sits alongside all the government waste and profligacy, all their sin and arrogance, their belief that they know best, not the people, and certainly not the King of kings, the Lord Jesus.
There is much repenting of the old establishment ways to do, much turning to Christ, and seeking his will for what a government should and should not do.
Pray the Lord will raise up the able, truthful, honest, humble, God-fearing men who are up to that challenge:
Exo 18:21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness;
