Electricity Guidance
Guidance on how to read your electricity meter
The EA are drawing your attention to the importance of submitting your monthly Electricity Meter Read directly to Northern Ireland Electricity Networks (NIE).
For educational settings with a Non Half-Hourly (NHH) electricity meter, these must be manually read and submitted each month. Your electricity bill is calculated based on your submitted meter read. If a monthly meter read is not submitted then your bill will be calculated based on estimated consumption, which can result in significant over or undercharging.
Guidance on how to take an accurate meter reading, depending on the type of meter in your educational setting is available below.
You will need the following information when submitting your meter reading:
- The postcode that NIE associate with your Meter Point Reference Number (MPRN); and
- Your Meter Point Reference Number (MPRN), this is a unique 11-digit number which relates to the Electricity supply going into your property. It is unique to individual premises and the first 2 digits are always 81.
Submitting your meter reading is a quick and easy process and you can use the link below.
