I need help to know what the sections on a Scottish power meter refer to. the website was no help.

I find the letter G with 2 numbers
H with 1 number
L with one number
What do these mean?

    E.on have a good explanation on their site:
    https://www.eonenergy.com/for-your-home/your-account/prepayment/prepayment-buttons-displays/prepayment-display-electricity

    G - Total energy consumedThis is the total electricity used since the meter was first installed
    H - Day unit readingThis is where you can read your meter. Every time you top up, your key sends us a reading from here, we use this to show what you have been charged for on your statements
    I - Day time pence per unitThis is what we charge you for each unit of energy you use (for all units if you have a one rate meter or your day usage if you have a two rate meter)

    Having screen L on a meter would be really rare (you'd need a three rate system) and you'd also have J, K & M.

    Happy to help if you put the numbers you have up and I'll see if I can explain them
