What is a Half Hourly Electricity Supply?

All electricity meters, including Half Hourly ones, have a particular profile that is defined by the amount of electricity they draw from the grid. The profile is the first two digits of your electricity supply number, or MPAN as they are often known. Business profiles usually range from 03 all the way up to 08, with 03 generally using the least energy, and 08 using the most.

However, Half Hourly Meters are designed for commercial enterprises that have a peak load of +100kW (Over 100 kilo-watts), meaning they draw more power from the grid than any other meter profile. Because of this they operate in a totally different way to regular electricity meters. Half Hourly Meters have a 00 profile, and never need to be read because they send your energy data electronically to the supplier every 30 minutes, hence the name Half Hourly Meter.

A Half Hourly Supply Number

Determining if your electricity meter is half hourly is relatively simple. Just look for the ’00′ in the top left of the supply number:
