Lot of Germany still uses legacy electricity meters. I don't understand why a switch to remote readable meters still hasn't been mandated. This would allow companies to offer market priced electricity with as short as 15 minute price intervals, and would in turn allow consumers to optimise their energy usage to the cheap hours.

I know Nordics do this already, it would be about time for the rest of Europe to follow suit.
