How do I read a digital electricity meter (two rates; not smart)?

  • Write down numbers you see in Row 1 and Row 2
  • In the example below, the reading in Row 1 is 46043
  • In the example below, the reading in Row 2 is 32436
electricity digital meter ECO20:20 or Economy 7

 

 

 

 

 

When you're reading your electricity meter, write down the numbers from left to right – and ignore any numbers in red.

Not sure which reading goes where when submitting your reading? The 'submit a meter reading' page in MyAccount and the app show your last meter readings – just match your new readings up with these.
