Is it time to replace your electricity meter?

All electricity meters have a certification date, which is like your meter’s ‘best before’ date. It doesn’t mean your meter isn’t safe. It just means that your meter may not be measuring the electricity you’re using as accurately as possible.

Certification dates are set by the Office for Product Safety and Standards. You can find more guidance about electricity meter certification on the government’s website.

We’ll get in touch to let you know when your electricity meter has passed its certification date so you can book in a free meter upgrade.

Traditional (non-smart) meters are no longer being manufactured, which means we’ll install a smart meter when you book your meter upgrade.

Smart meters can automatically send your meter readings either monthly, daily, or half-hourly – or you can still submit your own if you’d prefer. You’ll also get access to smart tariffs that could help you save money on your bills, and you’ll be able to track your energy habits using our Energy Insights tool in the ScottishPower App.
