Readings are send remotely and automatically to connection provider. They pass data to seller of electricity. This data can be viewed nearly live or at most in few days online. It is all automated now. No need for anyone to go and read the meter anymore. Or even estimate consumption.
There are some special case like building where I live. Where I pay to the building, with very reasonable rate as there is no extra standing charges...
- nottorp 2y agoThey haven't reached full automation here. What I wonder is, who can read this consumption data besides the "connection provider"? How easy is it to drive around with a laptop and see who hasn't been home the past few days?

So basically it is uploaded to cloud and some people will obviously have access to data. Like customer support. I think technically it is possible to listen to air interface, but either it is some mobile or some power line communication so cracking that is complex enough.
