I can imagine that suppliers will be keen for the smart half hourly readings being continually fed into the EAC database if that means their half hourly settlements are made more accurate (especially if they feel that monthly readings with algorithms computing their payments don't produce favourable results).
But from the consumers point of view it makes little to no difference. When a reading goes into the data base it moves the rolling analysis period forward but the period used in the computation will always be the most recent 2 years. Now, if no data is submitted the EAC will logically stay the same, until such time as a reading is submitted and then a new figure will be computed. Quite possibly the start reading for the new 2 year period might have to be estimated if the was no reading exactly 2 years previous.
In my case it might be that my most recent readings haven't been submitted by Eon Next, that they've not been acted upon, that the newly computed EAC has not been returned to Eon Next, or that Eon Next hasn't applied the latest information to my bill/statement. 2 out of those 4 possibilities implicate Eon Next as being responsible.

Current Eon Next customer, ex EDF, Zog and Symbio. Don't think dual fuel saves money and think the smart meter programme is a waste of our money. Chronologically Gifted. If I offend let me know by private message, but I’ll continue to express my opinions nonetheless.
