How to arrange a business energy meter installation

What are MPAN, MPRN and why do I need them?

These are the steps you’ll need to go through to get a new business energy meter installed at your business premises:

  • Find out your business electricity and gas supply numbers– These are unique numbers that identify the supply to your property. You can find the Meter Point Administration Number (MPAN) on your latest electricity bill, and your Meter Point Reference Number (MPRN) on your latest gas bill.
  • Work out which type of meter you need– Not all energy meters are created equal, so it’s important to speak with your supplier or the Like Energy business energy experts to work out which type of meter you need. To give you a head start, keep reading to find out the types of business electricity and gas meters that are available.
  • Negotiate a price for your new meter– While smart meter installations tend to be free, you may be charged a fee for having any other type of meter installed at your business premises, especially if you use large amounts of energy. The good news is, installation costs are usually negotiable, so don’t accept your supplier’s first quote – haggle over the new electric meter installation cost and bargain over a price for commercial gas meter fitting.
  • Book your installation appointment– Once you’ve agreed on the type of meter and installation costs, your business energy supplier will assess the work that needs to be done and arrange a day to install the new meter. Once installed, billing will begin on the terms you agreed with your supplier.

If you’re not sure who supplies energy to your property, give us a call on 0000 000 0022. We can help to find your supplier, arrange a meter installation and check if there are any cheaper gas and electricity deals you could switch to.

Your MPAN (Meter Point Administration Number) and MPRN (Meter Point Reference Number) are unique numbers that allow suppliers to identify the premises where you’re using your energy. Your MPAN number can be found on your latest electricity bill, and you’re MPRN on your latest gas bill.

If you’ve never been billed, you’ll be able to get the number from your current supplier. If you’re arranging a new business electricity supply connection, you’ll need to contact your local network distributor, who can create one for you. 

If you’ve moved into a brand new building, you’ll need to arrange a new connection, here’s how:

  • Set up your connection – Your local Distribution Network Operator (DNO) is responsible for setting up your connection, so you’ll need to get in touch with them to arrange a quote for the work. The new electric meter installation cost will depend on where you’re located and the amount of electricity you’ll need.
  • Choose an energy supplier– You’ll then need to choose an energy supplier to power your workplace. Give the tech-enabled energy experts at Like Energy a call on 0000 000 0022 and we’ll find an energy supplier and tariff to fit the unique needs of your business. Prices and choose an energy contract that suits your business.

You’ll then need to agree on the type of meter to be installed, before agreeing a price and installation date, as above. To give you a better idea of the type of meter you might need, here are the different types of gas and electricity meters available to businesses.
