Start Your Electricity Meter Installation with Neom Utilities
Commercial electricity meters are crucial to manage your electricity usage. Having the correct electricity meter installed can help you reduce your bills by managing wasted energy.
To start your electricity meter installation, you will need your Meter Point Administrator Number (MPAN). Your MPAN is used to identify the electricity supply to your property. This can usually be found on your meter or a recent bill.
It’s important to consider the type of electric meter you need. Electricity meters often have more options than gas meters. This can include half-hourly meters for large businesses and multi-rate meters.

How Your MPAN Status Affects Your Electricity Meter Installation
Your MPAN status refers to the current state of your electricity meter. This will let you know whether your meter is ready for supply or if work needs to be done to access the supply.
Your MPAN status can be in one of four main states:
- Live
- Disconnected
- New
- De-Energised
Here, we explain the most common meter status types and what they mean for your electric meter:
What Type of Commercial Electricity Meters Are Available?
Choosing the right type of electricity meter for your business can help you manage your bills and your energy usage.
Here, you find some of the common Electricity meter types and how they work.
Standard Electricity Meters
Businesses with a standard, single-rate electric meter will have their usage charged at a flat rate. This is likely the option for businesses using most of their energy in peak hours.
This isn’t the most ideal method of commercial electricity monitoring as you will have to submit manual readings.
Commercial Smart Meters
Smart electricity meters are designed to take much more accurate readings.
A smart meter monitor sends readings to your supplier automatically, removing the need for estimated billing. This means you’ll only pay for the energy you’re using.
An electric smart meter can be a great option for small businesses that don’t meet the criteria for a half-hourly meter. Commercial smart meters will still offer you the benefits of automatic meter readings to help you manage your energy usage and costs.
A smart meter's accurate and regular readings can also be beneficial when carrying out a Energy audit. The up-to-date and accurate readings will allow you to easily identify how much electricity you’re using and when you are consuming most of your electricity.
Commercial smart meters are often free to install, as your electricity supplier covers the setup costs.
Multi-Rate Electricity Meters
As the name suggests, a multi-rate energy meter charges different rates at different times of the day. You will pay one rate during peak hours and a cheaper rate during off-peak hours. These are also sometimes known as two-rate meters.
The most common type is an economy 7 meter. This meter type offers a cheaper rate during a 7-hour window. Businesses can also choose a three-rate meter. This offers you a day rate, an evening and weekend rate, and a night rate.
Multi-rate meters are often installed for businesses using most of their energy outside of peak times.
A Three-Rate Meter also considers weekend usage. Much like typical peak and off-peak times, there is also a weekend rate that is accounted for on a three-rate meter.
Meters For Large Usage Businesses
Half hourly meters are required for businesses using at least 100,000 kWh of electricity each year. If your business uses more than 70,000 kWh of electricity a year, you can choose to install a half-hourly meter.
Half-hourly meters provide the most accurate billing available by submitting automatic meter readings to your supplier every half hour. They can also provide in-depth consumption data for businesses seeking to analyse and reduce their energy usage.
