There's obviously the concern that granular data could be very useful in the wrong hands. Electricity usage can give a good indicator whether or not the property is occupied.
Also, that suggested tariff seems pretty beneficial for those working from home which, I would guess, are the more affluent workers.

I wouldn't mind this if it's implemented fully.
Not Economy 7 or Economy 10 which offer 7 or 10 hours of cheaper electric... but full dynamic pricing that matches the peak use and type of use.
i.e. domestic daytime use should be cheaper than domestic evening, but domestic night time should be even cheaper still. But this pricing should be down to 30 minute increments too, so 11am is cheaper than 12:30pm as domestic lunchtimes will see slightly higher use than domestic mid-morning.
Of course, this is the UK and we'll fuck it up. But it has the potential to be good.
