Sheets
- 09Metering and data
Meter types explained
Half-hourly, non-half-hourly, AMR, smart and unmetered supplies, what each means for billing and data, and why the meter type decides what you can see.
Verified PDF - 10Metering and data
Smart meters and fixed contracts
From September 2027, new fixed-term contracts at smaller business sites must include a smart or advanced meter term. Which sites are covered.
Verified PDF - 27Metering and data
Market-wide half-hourly settlement
Every electricity meter is moving to half-hourly settlement. What changes, when, and why it makes consumption data available where it was not before.
Verified - 38Metering and data
New connections
Getting a supply to a site that does not have one. The order the stages run in, and why the timescale is set by the network rather than by you.
Verified - 39Metering and data
New meter connections
What happens once a supply point number exists. Contract, metering appointment, meter fit, in that order.
Verified
The standard
Every sheet, held to the same rules.
Sourced, not asserted
Where a figure is set by government or by a regulator, the sheet names the instrument it comes from.
Proposed is labelled
Where something is proposed rather than law, the sheet says so, so a decision is not taken on a consultation.
Board-pack PDF
Every sheet can be taken away with a cover page, a running head and the verification date on every page.
