flag Irish homeowners, including influencer Cat of Castlequarter House, are reporting sharply increased electricity bills after smart meter installations, with some bills doubling despite energy-efficient upgrades. flag Cat shared a €515.88 bill, blaming the smart meter for inaccurate readings and warning others against the technology. flag While ESB denies smart meters affect billing accuracy, stating they only transfer actual usage data, it acknowledges rising electricity tariffs over the past four years contribute to higher costs. flag ESB says meter replacements are part of a routine, regulated upgrade program to ensure reliability and compliance, and urges concerned customers to contact suppliers for checks, including temporary verification meters.
