New Connections and Meter Installations

The majority of businesses move into a premise, whether leased or owned, initiate operations and never need to think about their energy supply other than getting a good deal and paying their bills. But some businesses need more than that from their business energy supplier. Whether it is growing their facility for tackling energy-demanding activities, a more accurate or suitable metering system for measuring usage, or simply more connections to facilitate business expansion, any combination of the following may be required at any time:

• New connection
• Meter disconnection
• Total removal of existing service
• Rearranging an existing service position
• Increase the capacity of an existing service
• Decrease capacity of an existing service
• Temporary builders’ supply
• Metering upgrades
• Smart meter installation

Whilst a lot of suppliers support new connections and other installation and removal activity each will have different policies and protocols to follow. As a result the process can be time-taking and frustrating, not least when works involve interaction with the public highways. If your business needs to undertake any of the activities listed then you need to be prepared to not just rely on your existing supplier to deliver but to assess the market to match your specific needs.
