An electrical meter reads the amount of electricity used within an area for billing purposes. This metering data is collected to see how much electricity retailers need to charge people for their electricity consumption. Meters measure the number of kWh used, or energy consumed, during a billing period which will be sent to the energy retailers. A meter reader might at times arrive on-site to perform quick electrical inspections on the electricity meter.
There are three types of meters which are mainly used to gather data of a property’s electricity usage.
These meters will measure the overall electricity consumption while having no discernment applied for when it is utilised. The electricity retailer will not charge the rates on the time of day but will charge a flat rate. Another name for this type of meter is a flat rate meter due to it charging at a flat rate.
There are three types of accumulation meters which will display the reading in different ways
The billing period is every three months where a meter reader inspects the system to find the amount of electricity used. It is measured as a total of kWh to each date where the electricity retailer will charge quarterly.
This meter will measure the electricity used per half an hour. This allows retailers to gather information on the amount of electricity used during the day. With it being easy to know how much electricity is consumed, retailers offer either a flat rate or tariffs to be used when being charged. The meter reader arrives quarterly then sends the information to the electrical retailers to be charged.
Smart meters are similar to interval meters but does not need a meter reader to come and analyse the data. The amount of electricity used is sent electronically to the retailer and individuals can read their data electronically as well. When undergoing meter installations, it is now compulsory to have smart meters installed due to being easy to use.
Within NSW the main electrical retailers are Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy and Essential Energy. Each has their own peak, shoulder and off-peak times, measuring when electricity is consumed how much it will cost.

Peak: Monday – Friday, 2pm – 8pm (excluding public holidays)

A majority of meters will read power by kilowatts per hour. One watt is produced by one voltage and amperage measuring the electrical potential. The amount of electricity used will need time added into the formula to give an accurate reading. Every hour the number of kilowatts used is measured, with one kilowatt per hour equalling 1,000 watts. This means that if a light with 100 watts is used for 10 hours, then 100 watts by 10 is 1,000 watts consumed. To know the difference between volts, amps and watts, we encourage reading our article with further information.
Tariffs will be applied depending on how energy is utilised in the property with their being two main types:
