What is a half hourly meter?

Half hourly meters collect data on energy consumption every half an hour. The data is collected remotely and used to bill you on. You will not need to have manual meter reads. If your consumption for the site is more than 100kW at any one time, it is likely that you will have a half hourly supply.

How to find energy consumption for 2008. MWh and KWh – how to convert from one to the other.

To find out how much electricity you used from your half hourly meters in calendar years, you need to look back at your electricity bills and total them for the year. If you need help with obtaining this data you can contact your half hourly electricity supplier.

A MWh (Megawatt Hour) is 1000 KWh (Kilowatt Hours), Your electricity consumption data will be in KWh. Divide by 1000 to get MWh's,

Mandatory Half Hourly meters

Mandatory Half Hourly Meters (HHM) supply electricity settled on the Half Hourly market and are required in situations where the average peak electricity demand over the three months of highest consumption within a year exceeds 100kW over the previous 12 months. Note; not all Half Hourly meters trading on the Half Hourly market are classed as mandatory.

Voluntary Half Hourly meters

These meters are not widespread, and in most cases were installed because an organisation wanted their electricity settled on the half hourly market or because they wanted to collect data on their electricity consumption for energy management purposes.

Remotely read AMR - Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) meters have been developed for electricity that is not subject to HHMs so that consumers can access data on consumption. There is a wide range of AMR equipment available. However, CRC will only capture AMR meters which can be read remotely.

Pseudo Half Hourly metering readings

Pseudo Half Hourly Metering is a technique for calculating half hourly electricity consumption where the supply is unmetered. It is defined as a dynamic supply where (i) a set of equipment fixed to land that performs a common function (for example, street lighting), (ii) one element of the set of equipment is metered (for example a lamp post) and (iii) the existing meter point is used as a benchmark to determine the overall supply to the entire set of equipment in a given period.
