"One download from a smart meter told a householder they had consumed close to €9,000 worth of electricity in the first week of March. A massive malfunction on electricity smart meters over the weekend meant some householders were told they had consumed thousands of euro of energy. Hundreds of thousands of people are understood to have been impacted by the blunder."
A significant malfunction affecting smart meters over a weekend resulted in widespread billing errors across hundreds of thousands of households. The system failure caused electricity consumption readings to be grossly exaggerated, with some householders receiving bills indicating consumption worth thousands of euros for just one week in early March. The incident represents a major technical failure in the smart metering infrastructure, impacting a substantial portion of the customer base and raising concerns about the accuracy and reliability of automated billing systems.
