Depending on the size of your business. Large businesses consuming more than 100kWh of electricity every 30 minutes are legally required to install a half-hourly (HH) meter. This category typically includes factories, large offices, warehouses, and manufacturers.
Businesses using between 70kWh and 100kWh every 30 minutes have the option to install HH meters if they choose. An HH meter provides your supplier with regular, detailed data to monitor and track your energy usage.
For businesses that do not meet the criteria for HH meters, installing a smart meter may be a better option. Smart meters help monitor your consumption and ensure accurate energy bills. You won’t need to manually submit your readings to your supplier, as they will have access to your consumption data. By the end of 2024, all UK businesses and households must be offered a smart meter.
