The installation of new half hourly electricity meters for larger electricity users means business owners can save money on energy bills.
A half hourly electricity meter, also known as an HH meter or 00 meter is a special kind of meter that is connected to the business electricity supplier via a phone line.
This means the half hourly electricity meter can automatically send its meter readings every 30 minutes to the energy supplier – which is why it’s called a half hourly electricity meter.
This also means there’s no need for a business to take meter readings and then submit them and the regular updates of your energy usage also enable a potential supplier to see when your peak periods of use are and tailor their offering to meet your energy needs.
It’s this extra level of detail which should lead to substantial savings and lowering your energy bills.
Half hourly electricity meters being used by larger businesses
However, when we talk about half hourly electricity meters being used by larger businesses, we tend to mean large offices and factories; they tend to have an electricity usage of at least 100,000 kWh of electricity per year.
We should also point out that all large users of energy, including department stores and manufacturers, will have these half hourly meters installed because it’s now the mandatory requirement.
Indeed, these half hourly meters are sometimes referred to as P272 meters which are the relevant reference for those who want to find out more, and Ofgem is keen for more businesses to have smart meters installed.
While it’s easy to switch business electricity suppliers, the process for those who have half hourly suppliers is a little bit more complicated than switching a regular contract but there are experts in D-ENERGi available to help you do this.
