Have you received a letter from your energy retailer telling you that a smart meter will be installed in your home, presenting it as a done deal?

It is not a done deal. You have rights you have not been told about. There are legal instruments available to you that the energy industry would prefer you did not know existed. There is a documented evidentiary record that the regulatory process behind this mandate was conducted without the independent safety review it was legally required to perform.

An anonymous contributor has provided SSMA with a Smart Meter Defence Template Suite that clearly sets out what you need to do in order to prevent installation of a smart meter, communicating or otherwise, without your explicit consent. It consists of a plain-language guide, which you need to read first, and two formal legal documents, which you need to serve at the same time, to the same address and by the same method.

The three documents that you will need are available at the following links:

1. Smart meter defence guide (read this PDF first)

Then download the following two Word documents:

2. Smart Meter Formal Objection and Default Notice (Template v3)
3. Conditional Acceptance Notice (CAN) template
