Metering

(1) (a) Any meter which is to be installed shall be located in a position approved by the Engineer. Except in the case of an installation comprising a small power distribution unit together with an electricity dispenser, the equipment shall be affixed to a panel of an approved type provided by the consumer. In the case of any new electrical installation, such approval shall be obtained before the installation is commenced.

(b) In the case of an installation comprising a small power distribution unit and electricity dispenser, the consumer shall provide and install conduit and conduit inspection boxes to the detail of the Engineer. The Engineer shall supply and install the electricity dispenser. The small power distribution unit shall be installed to the satisfaction of the Engineer.

(2) Where more than one meter is required by a consumer to measure the quantity of electricity supplied through a single service main, the additional meter shall be installed by the Engineer upon payment of the fee prescribed in Item l(b)(ii) of the First Schedule. 

(3) Where a number of meters are to be installed at one point within the premises, the consumer shall, when so required by the Engineer, provide a meter-room to accommodate such meters. The position and dimensions of such room shall be determined by the Engineer after consultation with the owner or his duly authorised representative.

(4) All current and potential metering transformers installed in any premises shall be of a type approved by the Engineer and shall be either accommodated on a panel of an approved type, supplied by the consumer or incorporated in the consumer's incoming switchgear. The metering transformers shall be supplied by the Council unless, in the opinion of the Engineer they will not be capable of re-use by the Council on the termination of the supply.

(5) Where a consumer elects to transfer to another tariff or to a bulk agreement, applications for transfer shall only be accepted in areas, where that type of transfer has been authorised by the Engineer and will only be performed by the Engineer upon payment of the fee prescribed in item 15 or item 16 of the First Schedule.
