This #electricity #meter doesn't exist. The #UKPowerNetworks database record that it was removed from the premises in 2018, presumably when a tenant stopped paying.
It was a #mystery why, when we bought the cottage, #ScottishPower could not find a record of it. Now we know. We guess that every occupier of the cottage since 2018 has had free electricity.
It didn't help that Scottish Power has the address of the cottage ending in 4AP, when it should end 3AQ.

Scottish Power, a subsidiary of Iberdrola, has admitted that 71 of its 1.183 onshore wind turbines have been operating with diesel generators for six hours a day for a short period of time during December 2020. The company had to maintain its turbines at a constant temperature during the winter months in Scotland due to a power outage. Turbines need a backup power s
I swapped to #OctopusEnergy who promised they can swap the meter (more than #ScottishPower have said).
Does anyone have a referral code I can retro actively add?
What a fucking palaver of technology and integration #failure!
#ScottishPower refuse to swap my card gas meter with a #smartmeter.
I try and top up the card at #Asda , which they do, then only accepted cash.
I've not used cash, or a physical card for months, so had neither on me.
That's fine, nearest #Barclays ATM, and use contactless cash. But no, they discontinued that in July.
I finally found my card at home, had to use cashback at the store, and managed to get my gas card back, 10 minutes before they shut.
Anyone with an ounce of sense can see how any ones of these step could be fixed to give actually sensible user experience, but no, they don't care.
Called again first thing this morning. Had an engineer visit, and swap for a prepay (non smart) gas meter so at least it's back on.
While he was here, I spoke to #ScottishPower again, and convinced them to arrange another visit to get the electric meter connected again.
After that, I can swap *back* to a smart gas meter, which can then by switched to credit mode.
What a fucking palava...
I still hate tech!
They didn't come round.
But while waiting for them to not come round...
#ScottishPower: "Your meter's not working. Can you do the job of the several million pounds of infrastructure we forcibly rolled out, and give us a meter reading?"
See also trying to enter a 20 digit number on a 2 button keypad that times out and switches off if I take more than 2s to find and read the next set of digits.
Because it won't connect it to the electric meter that #ScottishPower also can't be bothered to connect properly.
Why I hate tech...
#ScottishPower refuse to switch my #SmartMeter to credit, so now needs a £400 topup.
#PostOffice can only do this by pretending to do a cash withdrawal (money laundering?).
And it exceeds my daily withdrawal limit...
Absolute shit! This should be a single online form!
