Sourcing the right DC and MOP contracts will help you reduce your energy consumption and costs
Receiving accurate and timely data of energy usage enables us to better procure, monitor, reduce and manage your energy requirements. Luckily, for businesses that consume more than 100kW, half-hourly (HH) metering is mandatory and data can be remotely accessed on a daily basis by specialist Data Collectors (DC). Additional Meter Operator (MOP) contracts cover the supply of meters, their maintenance and the necessary telecommunications for sending consumption data to your chosen supplier.
Sourcing the right DC and MOP contracts will help you better understand how much energy you are using and when you are using it, so you can reduce consumption and costs. There are over 20 Meter Operators in the UK, all with varying levels of service delivery. Finding a more suitable agreement and combining many of your existing contracts will also make MOPs more manageable.
How Business Energies can help
The Business Energies team has completed a detailed and thorough tender with all major UK half-hourly (HH) Data Collectors. As a result, we can help you switch HH DC and source a more competitive contract. We're also well placed to find you a more suitable MOP contact we manage thousands of meters and have secured competitive prices for our clients.
Under the Balancing and Settlement Code P272, businesses with Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) meters in Profile Classes 05-08 will be switching to the half-hourly (HH) market by 1 April 2017. These organisations also need to select an HH MOP and HH DC to cover the additional service costs of meter alterations and maintenance and to record and collect HH data for billing. Business Energies can help you secure these contracts early to ensure you are ready before the mandatory switch.
