Time-of-day metering and premium charges for peak load periods is the most visible feature that will bite people hard.
Down the road, we may see targeted shutdowns of homes imposed as a penalty where the residents have offended the local government in some way.
Sounds accurate. I was thinking that they would have control over individual residences and would be able to make demands at some point and if you don’t comply...well too bad. You will lose power. Or, like in this article, possibly lock the meter somehow to where the resident cannot adjust the thermostat.
