Meters & Readings

How often is my meter read?

  • Meter readings

Northern Ireland Electricity Networks (NIE Networks) will attempt to read your meter once a quarter (every 3 months), this includes Keypad meters. 

Why are NIE reading my meter?

As NIE Networks own the metering equipment, they will need access to your meter once a quarter to carry out a safety check to make sure it is working correctly (this includes Keypad meters).
