That report came out in 2017, and was discussed at the time. They didn't really give enough information to fully understand their results, and there seemed to be no follow up clarifications. The IEC standards for energy meters do not adequately define the required behaviour of a meter with a rich harmonic mix in either the voltage or the current waveform. Likewise, the typical qualification tests for type approval of energy meters to not extensively test these behaviours.

It seems that they are (perhaps inadvertently--or perhaps not) charging you extra if you have a non-PFC load.  That might be appropriate.

The study says nothing about power factor. It refers to loads with a high harmonic content, although the power factor might also not be great.

Sounds like a bunch of people should measure their actual vs. billed consumption!
