Estimated readings can be used to generate monthly invoices. The invoice maybe higher than usual as the estimate reading could be higher than the actual total electricity usage during the month. Also, estimate readings will be used to generate your invoice when access to the meter has not been obtained.

For example – Meter could be indoors, meter behind locked gate, meter access block (overgrown gardens)

Blue NRG can offer customers the opportunity to upgrade metering to Smart meter. Please contact Blue NRG for more information.

If you have a smart meter, Blue NRG receives daily interval reads from the meter.  Blue NRG uses this real time data to generate your monthly electricity bill.

If you have a basic meter, Blue NRG may receive estimated or actual meter reads either on a monthly or quarterly basis from your network provider.  This data is used to generate an invoice on a monthly basis.

• If your energy usage is higher than the last billing period, then your electricity invoice will be higher.
• Some of the most common reasons for high bills include:
• The billing period maybe longer than 31 days
• The invoice total maybe based on estimated meter data instead of actual meter data
• The billing period may be adjusted based on actual meter data received, which may determine that previous invoice was underestimated
• Energy usage could change based on the season.
• If your business has grown, then your electricity usage can also increase
• If you have purchased new appliances, then your electricity usage will increase, considering switching off appliances that may not be in use for long periods.
• Consider changing the time of day when you use electricity, it might be cheaper to run appliances in the evening instead of during the working day.

If an appliance is faulty, it may result in higher than usual electricity costs

Smart meters are the latest generation of meters currently being changed at premises and installed at any new sites.

These meters measure your electricity usage at 15 or 30 min intervals and networks are able to send this meter data automatically to Blue NRG on a daily basis via a secure wireless communications network.  Smart meters also benefit your business by providing insights to the way and times that you may be using electricity at peak periods.

To learn more about your electricity insights register or log on to Blue NRG My account and download your interval data for any nominated data range in csv format to understand your electricity usage behaviours.

Your electricity meter is owned and maintained by your meter provider. For more information please contact us at Blue NRG.

Your electricity meter will be read either monthly or quarterly cycles depending on the schedule managed by your meter service provider. Blue NRG receives meter data and arranges to generate your invoice on a monthly basis.

If we are unable to read the meter due to access issues, the invoice will be generate as estimate, you can upgrade to a smart meter where you can access to more real time data. Some of the key features of smart meter:

Faster connections – Connections and disconnections are faster and cheaper for customers

Improved network safety – distribution businesses now have immediate detection of faults and network disturbances and can implement safety measures more quickly.

Network operation efficiency – distribution businesses now have reduced response times and in some cases can undertake repairs remotely saving time and money.

Faster detection of outages and faults – Smart meters can notify a distribution businesses  in real-time if a premises’ power is out.  These outage alerts can speed up power re-connection because the source of the problem can be pinpointed instantly, allowing repair crews to be prioritised appropriately and start repairs sooner. Smart meters can then verify whether power has been restored to all meters.

Data availability – smart meters provide accurate real-time information about electricity consumption for consumers and retailers, virtually bringing an end to manual and estimated readings and associated costs.

To upgrade your meter, you can email or call us.
