How Commercial Electricity Meter Installation Works 

The process is straightforward, as we handle everything for you. We will begin by gathering some basic information about your business so that a member of our expert connection team can contact you to discuss your requirements.

Our team will provide advice on the right type of meter for your business and explain the installation process. In most cases, we can complete the installation within 2 weeks, although this may depend on whether any site work is necessary.

 

Are You Ready For A New Commercial Electricity Meter?


During your initial conversation with our expert team, we will need to determine your MPAN status. This tells us the current status of your electricity meter, which will fall into one of the following categories:

 

  • Live

    Your current meter is fully operational and ready to use. You can find a new deal.

  • Disconnected

    Your meter is currently disconnected. In this case, you will need to contact your Network Operator to arrange for a new cable. Once that is completed, we can book you in with our operator to obtain a new MPAN number.

  • New

    Your new MPAN has been created, but you may still be waiting for your service cable to be installed. You might also need your Profile Class and Meter Time-Switch Code.

  • De-Energised

    Your meter fuse has been removed, even though the service cable is in place. You will need to contact the supplier that removed the cable. If you are new to the premises, you may need to reach out to the landlord or previous tenant to identify that supplier.

Types of Commercial Electricity Meters 

Your business will have one of the following types of electric meters installed on your premises:


Standard Single-Rate Meter 

This traditional single-rate meter is common for businesses that have not upgraded. This meter type requires you to regularly submit manual readings to your supplier.


Commercial Smart Meter  

Most businesses now have a smart meter installed, which automatically sends readings directly to your supplier. A smart meter eliminates the need for estimated billing, meaning you’ll only pay for the energy you actually use.


Multi-Rate Meter 

Multi-rate meters are beneficial for businesses that typically operate during off-peak hours. They charge different rates based on the time of day or night, making them especially popular in the hospitality sector, where core operational hours may be in the evening or nighttime due to lower unit rates.


Half-Hourly Meter  


Half-hourly meters automatically submit readings every 30 minutes. Currently, businesses with a maximum demand of 100 kWh or higher are legally required to have a half-hourly meter. However, starting May 2027, all businesses, regardless of size or consumption, will be required to have a half-hourly meter installed, following an Ofgem review known as Market-Wide Half Hourly Settlement.
