Automated Meter Reading – NHH Electricity

Electricity supplies with a demand of less than 100kW are not obliged to have half hourly metering equipment installed and are known as non-half hourly (NHH) supplies. Technology and cost constraints have historically meant that advanced or smart metering has not been feasible for NHH supplies, leaving these customers with a lack of accurate meter reading data and bills continually based on estimated readings.

Businesses are suffering. At a time when energy prices are rapidly rising, may companies do not know how much electricity they are using or when they are using it.

Automated Meter Reading (AMR) solutions enables businesses to:

• Reduce their electricity usage and costs
  
• Know exactly what they have consumed, when it was consumed and how much it will cost
  
• Use profile data to improve usage efficiency & compare electricity usage between sites to introduce group-wide efficiencies
  
• Reduce carbon emissions through better analysis of accurate and timely data

Benefits

Automated Meter Reading (AMR) services can provide many benefits to Energy Customers. Smart meters allow businesses to reduce their energy costs and carbon emissions through better analysis of accurate data.

Accurate Energy Bills

Scheduling the retrieval of meter register reads and delivery of these actual reads in line with agreed read windows will enable customers to promptly receive accurate invoices at the end of each billing period.

Reduced Administration Costs

Invoices will be based on actual readings from meters to reduce time customers might spend querying invoices with their supplier.

Improved Budgeting

Energy consumption records will now be based on actual readings; meaning that customers can improve forecasting and control of their energy budget. The costs of reconciliations are reduced because no erroneous estimated bills are levied.

Price Optimisation

By taking advantage of enhanced data, customers can see the energy profile of each of their sites. They can then identify whether there are opportunities for other tariff options to reduce costs.

Improve Energy Management

Enhanced data also enables customers to benchmark energy consumption across their estate and identify exceptional usage patterns.
