Meter read type

  • Actual (A): Your meter provider got actual energy consumption data from your meter, either remotely or through visiting your property.
  • Estimated (E): Your meter provider was unable to get an actual read from your meter, usually due to not having safe or easy access. Instead, they have provided a reading based off your past usage.
  • Substitute (S): Your meter provider was unable to get an actual read from your meter, and provided a reading based on an average of your consumption for a similar period.

Supply service charges

Charged by your energy distributor to get the energy to you and for maintenance of poles and wires.
