During the meter relocation process, it is important to be aware that your meter tariff type can potentially change, which will have an impact on your electricity pricing.
Several factors can lead to a tariff type change when a meter is replaced. Here are some common scenarios:
1. Meter technology upgrade: If the new meter being installed utilizes advanced technology or features, it may require a different tariff type. For example, older meters may be replaced with smart meters that offer more detailed data collection and enable time-of-use tariffs.
2. Regulatory changes: Meter tariff types can be influenced by regulatory changes implemented by utility authorities or government entities. These changes may necessitate the adoption of new tariff structures or the phasing out of old ones, potentially leading to a tariff type change during meter replacement.
3. Customer request: In some cases, customers may request a change in their tariff type during the meter replacement process. This could be driven by factors such as a desire to switch to a renewable energy tariff or to align with specific pricing plans.
Please note that the specific reasons for a tariff type change during meter replacement can vary depending on the region, the meter asset provider, and specific circumstances.
