Metering and data services
Extensive support across your estate
Effective metering underpins impactful utilities management by creating a comprehensive image of your consumption with accurate, up-to-date data.
However, many organisations are unaware that if they don’t hold direct agreements for their metering portfolio, the supplier will automatically appoint its preferred agents – often with little transparency, limited choice, and inflated costs.
What’s more, these default arrangements can result in unreliable or delayed data and reduced visibility; making monitoring and reporting on performance, identifying risks and optimising operations more challenging.
How can Inspired help?
Inspired offers a full suite of metering services across electricity, gas, and water supplies, covering both Half-Hourly (HH) and Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) solutions nationwide.
Our fully managed solution replaces fragmented supplier-led arrangements with a centralised, transparent and competitively priced service, ensuring compliant metering and accurate, timely and cost-effective energy data.
We manage the full lifecycle of your metering:
Independent assessment of your current metering setup.
Procurement of the most suitable providers.
Installation or upgrade of assets.
Seamless migration of your data into our platform.
This ensures you remain compliant, reduce costs and gain reliable access to the data required for your monitoring and targeting efforts.
Is your metering ready for Market-Wide Half-Hourly Settlement (MHHS)?
Once implemented, the MHHS is set to provide a detailed view of how much electricity is being consumed for every 30-minute period.
This shift will improve the accuracy of settlement and encourage a more data-driven, flexible energy system. For organisations, it creates a greater need for reliable, high-quality metering data.
While businesses can already choose their own metering partners, MHHS increases the importance of having the right arrangements in place to ensure data is collected, validated, and processed correctly.
However, the practicalities around MHHS depend on your metering arrangements. We can help ensure your electricity portfolio is MHHS-ready – with the right data, processes and visibility to unlock smarter decisions and lower costs.
What about sub-metering?
Sub-metering refers to installing meters in addition to your primary billing meters.
Energy intensive organisations like manufacturers, hospitals and hotels can use sub-metering to help pinpoint waste and inefficiencies or for cost allocation.
It also supports operational decision-making and compliance where granular metering data is required.
Sub-metering data can also be used to showcase return on investment of implemented energy reduction initiatives to stakeholders.
