Linky meter: Operating and user manual?

[Remundo]

Confirmation: LINKY is a massive withdrawal control instrument, including limiting the available power

The plan, as the government asked Enedis, is to authoritatively lower the available power of all Linky residential meters to 3 kVA. No more electric car owners would be able to charge at home. And you will have to be careful if the washing machine runs at the same time as the water heater. We turn on a bedside lamp, and everything goes off...

In a draft decree consulted by La Tribune, it plans to carry out a full-scale test, consisting of limiting the electricity demand of some 200.000 French people equipped with a Linky meter, without recourse or compensation possible. The households in question should be satisfied with a “minimum power threshold allowing the operation of common, energy-efficient equipment” for a maximum duration of 4 hours, over a period running until March 31, 2024.

So in summary 15A for everyone. It's not the candle, but many users will be disturbed, if only for the heating. In fact, a heat pump or two electric radiators draw around 2 W.

A threshold of 30A - 6 kVA would be a little more reasonable.

At the same time, we should consider developing domestic cogeneration solutions... I have been saying this for more than 10 years.

I can clearly imagine a limitation when I have a car on my lift... Impossible to lower it back down

Rumors travel fast

This would involve limiting the power of Linky meters for around 200 people, notified in advance, for a few hours. The operation would be carried out in one go, during the winter of 000-2023.

so it's not a rumor, TDC (gullible head), you confirm the information yourself.

Obviously this measure would be applied to limit winter peaks, and more generally in the event of a risk of blackout.

it's nothing other than a form of load shedding controlled by Linky

I mainly transmitted this information in homage to Mr Simple who swore to his great gods that it was impossible a while ago.

Count the fucked ones!
Either you wash your laundry and use electric heating and no EV car charging, or the opposite!

[Forhorse]

Calm down the angry people: This is an EXPERIMENT which concerns 0.5% of subscribers with a Linky and during rush hours.
And if it's like last winter's blak-outs, eh...

it can even be only one use out of the 3 offered...

a washing machine already draws around 2000W

A large electric radiator or heat pump too.

An EV is 1100 W at 5A, 2200 W at 10A...

So if you keep a margin of 1000 W for lighting and the intermittency of a refrigerator... the 3000W is complete.

I am not particularly "angry" against this load shedding, but rather mocking, in ascending order
1) people who do not see Linky as an instrument of tyrannical control
2) incapable people who let the French electricity network collapse, who are now forced to experiment with these things to compensate for their incompetence...

Linky's next step will be to apply a TICPE on EV charging kWh.

We'll talk about it again in a few years...

There is the price incentive, this is already the case for the tempo subscription

Come on, shall we take bets? when do you think?

Because technically, and legally, it's just not possible.
Applying a tax on consumption vaguely interpolated on wind... I don't see how in a state of law that can be legal.

All electrical devices will have (or have) an identification code. And the linky can sort it out.
