Do you know of any numbers on the proportion of those with prepared meters? Anecdotally, I’ve only ever seen it in one flat I started in.

I’m not buying it.
Adding it to the unit rate will not help poorer households.
Poorer households tend to have prepayment meters.
The unit rate of prepayment meters is already higher than the unit rate of paying monthly/quarterly etc
How is increasing that unit rate going to help

It will help if you use very little and cost more if you use lots.
