What is a "related" electricity meter and how do I change it?

Joyful

I would take the Scottish Power rep up on his offer. Give him your address, meter serial number and any Meter point administration numbers you can get ( MPAN). They can then check ECOES - the industry database and can confirm what the problem is. This system will also show if the supply is changing hands.

Hi loadsalaughs,

If you provide your address details and a contact telephone number I should be able to figure everything out for you.

Kind regards

Hi all,

I am having a very similar problem, trying to switch from NPower to Scottish Power.

Was this problem ever fully resolved?

Cheers

Cass26 - you have posted twice - I have replied to your other post.

It depends on the exact situation with your meter.

The phrase "related meter" may be used differently in different situations - or so it would appear from the above post!

I really need some help. I have just moved in to a property with British Gas. There was some delay in getting electric connected so I complained.

I am being told the Property has two MPANs and British Gas dont support that. The property has a heat wise economy 10 meter. ( Even though british gas have supplied electric since 2009 they say they cant calculate )

I am also advised that they want to send back the supply to the previous supplier as an erogenous transfer to NPOWER ( i think ) from 2009 who do support Economy 10 with dual MPANS.

The Meter has 5 Rates. THERE IS ANOTHER BIG PROBLEM The two MPANS have got crossed over. MPAN 1 Has R1,2,3 and MPAN 2 has R1,2. Rates 4 and 5 have not been taken in to account but i suspect should have been on one of the MPAN's. Theyt are going to try and bill for the same usage OMG !

British gas advise they cant bill this situation. Its been a month and i was told to get an electrician to check the MPANS. Is it really my responsibility. In addition if the MPANS have crossed over where do i stand.

Id like a new meter as it scares me whats next.

I used to live in the property a few years before ( long story ) and i was only on one MPAN ( Two Rates ) and the last resident a different MPAN. ( Three Rates ) and i can prove that R1 and R2 are the same on both MPANS ( Rate 3 does not move and R4 and R5 are well away from the sequence. In addition British gas supplied and billed me at this time so how can they now say they cant bill me as they have done for me previously and the last resident.

I have been told old bills will be reworked and invoiced and cant stay with British gas.

I thought dual MPAN with 1 meter was a logical thing no need for an electrician to check it. Ie there is not two physical supplies just a meter that has multi rates.

Where do i stand and what can i do.....I would like British Gas to put in a new economy 7 meter i think. Ive spent hours on the phone and feel like i am getting no where. Also looks like they want to bill for the same electric. PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME TACKLE THE CORPORATE COMPANY:(:(:(:(:(:(

matty12345 please start your own thread. Hijacking someone else's just causes confusion.
E10 is often an issue, as very few suppliers support it.
