metering and billing operator. This gives the heat network operator the choice of who they employ to carry out metering and billing services. To ensure specifications are correct, the ideal
time to start engaging with technical and electrical consultants on heat metering is up to 12 months before the build starts. Some companies, such as Berkeley Group and Telford Homes Plc, have started the process earlier still, at the pre-tender stage. To make these processes run exceptionally
smoothly, companies have adopted a number of initiatives to improve communication between development and operation teams. One of these is the provision of free of charge, written technical specifications for metering systems. Some companies will also engage in specification reviews and in the review of design and build contracts covering metering systems, advising clients on what to change to deliver a more efficient system.
A good energy supplier will willingly sit down
with different individuals or departments and talk through best practice for metering and billing solutions, giving examples of past failings and how they can be prevented. Firms have successfully steered numerous developers, big and small, on the journey to achieving the best practice approach
that costs a little more initially but then makes the kind of savings, in energy and resource costs, that pay back many times over.
