    My meter belongs to the Electricity Board. Under the de-Regulation of the electricity board who does it belong to now?

    • martins blog says:

      Hi Roy
      Thanks for your interesting question.
      Your meter belongs to the company which is responsible for maintaining the energy networks in your region. For example: I live in the South of Scotland, Scottish Power are responsible for the electricity network in this area, so they own my electricity meter

      • martins blog says:

        Further to this. If you have a new supplier they may or may not install their own meter, therefore, your meter would belong to your new supplier

        • martins blog says:

          If you are asking for this information for any specific reason, such as a conflict of ownership of your meter. If you want to give me some more information, I may be able to advise further

            Thanks Martin,

            My energy supplier came to change my old mechanical meter with a forward power digital meter.
            As I am fitted with solar panels the old meter, which goes backwards as well as forwards keeps me informed of my domestic consumption and what I export back to the Grid. As the replacement meter cannot give me this information I was hoping to keep the old meter fitted with the new one but I am evidently not allowed to.

    Hi Roy
    Thanks for shedding some more light on this for me. The meter for feed in tariff can work 2 ways. If you have only 1 meter, they estimate that you export 50% of electricity back to the grid.
    Or, to get an exact measure, you would have 2 meters. One would measure your personal consumption, and the other, would measure what you put back to the grid. However, if you have a second meter, this is a chargeable item which you would pay a standing charge for, therefore, eliminating any actual savings.
    All I can say is – Crazy isn’t it?

    • Roy Gilham says:

      The logic behind the broad statement give above can be contradictory to two fundametal laws.

      1. Energy is neither created or destroyed.
      2. Kirkoffs second law that the total current flowing into a point is equal the total current flowing out. Being at the same voltage this equates to power as well as current.

      My generation meter reads + 2759Kw, my electricity meter went from 4186 to 2713Kw reflecting an overall reverse power of 1467 Kw. From law 2 above my consumption has been 1292 Kw.

      But according to the statement above I have consumed 1379Kw myself.

      This is great because not only can my supply company not charge me for any electricity from them but they pay me for 1379Kw @ 3.1 p.

      Controversial! Maybe we should take this up off line.

      Thanks for your help.

      Many thanks

      Roy

    I have received a letter telling me my Atlantic fixed tariff 3 ends on Jan 10. Do I have to wait until Jan 11 before switching or can I get on with switching now (so I don’t forget!) and ask the next provider to wait until the 11th before doing the switch?

  4. Brian says:

    I am on Staywarm which is E.ON and supplies both gas & electricity for £182/month. This is not directly linked to usage. I tried to switch to what seemed like the best tariff via ScottishPower, but they could/would not proceed as I have 2 electricity meters, one for night & one for day. Where do I go for a good deal?

    • martins blog says:

      Hi Brian
      I was getting fed up watching Dale Winton, so thought I would check my messages for anything interesting. Your message caught my eye.
      Scottish Power don’t normally refuse a customer due to having 2 meters.
      They may refuse to take you on if you have 2 supply numbers. These are normally present when you have 3 meter readings
      1. Day
      2. Night
      3. Control
      The control is normally operated by your supplier. This is switched on by a radio switch to control when storage heaters come on.
      This may or may not apply to you.
      Is it possible to provide more information so I can further assist you.
      1. Your postcode
      2. Your energy consumption in KWH. (E.ON send you an annual statement with this information)
      3. If you know what your day usage and your night usage are, this would help with the accuracy of any quotations.

  5. Trisha says:

    I am looking to replace old night storage heaters and have seen some economy.radiator.com that state the tarif should be a standard tarif, no standing charge as basically the economy 7 tarif is a no no! However, I cannot see anyone that does not charge a standing charge and it makes sense to remain on economy 7 – can I remain on ecomony 7 meter and still use the heaters, but change the plugs to standard plugs?

    Confused!!

    • martins blog says:

      Hi Trisha,
      Don’t rush into this. I am going to check it out for you. Standard electricity with no standing charge is not a good option.
      I’ll add more info as soon as available.

    • martins blog says:

      Trisha,
      I can’t find enough evidence to back up the claims this company have made on this heating system.
      The KWH rates which they are showing are out of date. You will be lucky to get a rate less than 12 pence per KWH. If you look at this http://energy-advise.com/mypictures/map.html you will find the rates for your own region. This only shows rates for a single rate meter.
      Also, the company state a few things that don’t make much sense. This tells me, that their knowledge of the energy market is not up to scratch.
      I doubt very much, that a heater with an output of 1 KWH would be sufficient to provide enough heat for an average living room.
      My own heaters output in my living room are 5 KWH and that is not enough on a cold Winters day!
      They are based on an Italian design, so perhaps they are enough to heat a house in Italy!
