Half-Hourly Meter Readings

Half-hourly meters (HH meters) automatically record and send meter readings directly to your energy supplier. This makes manual readings unnecessary as the automatic readings provide accurate, real-time information for billing and energy usage patterns.

There are many great advantages of installing a half-hourly meter:

  • Convenience - No need for manual readings.
  • Efficiency - Accurately recorded data to use energy more effectively.
  • Monitoring Usage Patterns - Using 2 or 3-rate tariffs and targeting software can help to reduce energy usage and carbon footprint.

Half Hourly Meter FAQs

  • What Is A Half-Hourly Meter?

    Half-hourly meters are mandatory for large consumption businesses with a maximum demand of 100 kWh or greater in a 30-minute period.

    These meters submit energy readings to your supplier every 30 minutes to ensure you’re not billed based on estimated usage.

  • Are There Benefits of Having a Half Hourly Meter?

    There are two main features and benefits associated with half hourly meters.

    Automated Meter Readings

    Half hourly meters offer large businesses more detailed and accurate information on their energy usage. This is useful for businesses seeking to increase their energy management.

    Software programs allow you to import the raw data collected from a half hourly meter. From this, you can analyse trends and produce energy management reports. You’ll be able to check and monitor consumption for any cost centre or premises you manage.

    Energy Management

    Advanced software packages can create alarms if usage is over a certain threshold. You can highlight variances against historical trends from the information produced.

    Most companies save an additional 10% on an annual basis by using these advanced analytical tools.

  • How Do I Find Out The Profile Class On Half Hourly Meter?

    You will find your profile class number on your electricity meter. Look at your Meter Point Administration Number and to the box right of the 'S'. This is your profile class number.
