Half Hourly Meter
Half hourly meters are special meters designed to send reading updated to your energy supplier every half an hour for more accurate data. Half hourly meters are usually found in larger businesses and the process is automated allowing extremely accurate and up-to date energy bills without the requirement or manually reading meters.
However, if your business has a peak usage of 100KWH, by law you are required to install a half hourly meter. These businesses tend to be factories, warehouses, very big offices etc. You can tell whether or not you have a half hourly meter through your S number, which can be found on your previous phone bill. If the number in the top left is 00 then you have a half hourly meter.
How can half-hourly meters help?
Energy and heating can now be managed easily to aid saving money and reducing usage. Half-hourly meters are particularly useful for larger companies that tend to use large amounts of electricity. Using a half-hourly meter will allow your energy supplier to split energy into 30-minute blocks, making your readings a lot more accurate and your energy usage a lot more efficient.

Rob says that thanks to the competitive rates secured by Utility Bidder in his studio, it would actually be cheaper to live there than at home! “We pay about £30 a month for gas during the winter and around £25 a month for electricity – and that’s despite having a lot of energy guzzling equipment such as studio lights and fan heaters. Our energy bills at home are far more expensive!”
