Questions and discussions about your electricity and gas meters, connections, disconnections and more
My premises current have an "Anytime" and a "Controlled Load" meter.
I have been advised of an upcoming digital meter upgrade with a possible tariff change.
My questions are:
1) Will there be 2 digital meters or 1 combined meter?
2) Will Controlled Load be measured separately?
3) What is the likely change of tariff, bearing in mind that tariffs are already expected to change on August 1?

Hi Keith,
Though the specific plan may vary from this, generally speaking, the 'Shoulder' period applies between 7am-3pm and 9pm-10pm Monday-Friday, and also between 7am-10pm on weekends. It's the period that is not peak, and is not off-peak.
Hope this offers some assistance to you 🙂
Have just received my 2nd quarterly bill since the digital meter changeover.
Billing continues to be a nightmare.
Tariff changes, loss of discounts without prior notification, pricing changes mid-cycle all contribute to a bill which needs a university graduate to decipher.
Good luck to anyone wishing to pursue a similar changeover.
Hi Kat-Kilp,
The numbers that display are fairly common between brands. I don't have the information handy (I've just dropped off the kids), but when I get home I'll take a look for you.
Typically one of the lot of the numbers refers to the first phase, then second phase, then third, then controlled loads, etc. It'll depend how many phases you have connected, and which controlled load type you have set up.
I have been notified that my meter will be exchanged in April 23 to a Digital meter. I have Solar and I average about 25 -30 kw input per day which i get reimbursed at .44c per kw will i still receive this return on my in feed after the instellation ? What are the timings of the Time of Use brackets eg: PEAK, OFF PEAK, SHOULDER. ?
