A Meter Operator agreement or (MOP contract) is a legal requirement for all half hourly electricity supplied meters. This contract covers the supply of the meter, maintenance and the necessary telecommunications for sending your consumption data to your energy supplier.
A Meter Operator (or MOP) is the company that will fit your meter and then provide on-going meter maintenance. If your site has a supply demand of over 65kw, you will require a half-hourly meter (HH) to be fitted.
If your business has low electricity consumption your supplier will allocate the local meter operator to install non half-hourly (NHH) metering at your site.
You must arrange a contract (known as a Meter Operator Agreement or MOP contract) with your chosen meter operator in order for this work to go ahead. Sites with a maximum demand of over 100kW are required to have metering installed that is capable of measuring consumption in half hourly periods. The meters are read remotely via a telecommunications link. This type of metering is governed by an industry Codes of Practice; Code 3 for sites with a maximum demand exceeding 1MW, and Code 5 for sites with a maximum demand over 100kW.
