Big standing charges on half-hourly CT business meter
Discussion
Might be a bit niche, but PH has some very wide experience!
For historical reasons, we have a CT half-hourly meter for a business property. It's massively over-specced for our needs, and the "ASC" has been downgraded to 25kva from 200kva as we aren't intensive energy users.
Our standing charge is near £8 per day plus annual MOP costs. Which seems a lot. We get these rates through an energy broker we have used for several years.
Is the only way to get off these huge standing charges to replace the CT meter with "whole-current" metering? Replacing the meter would cost over £6k (madness for changing some wires and a box over) but would pay back in a few years.
Am I missing something here? Is there something helpful in the future "Market-Wide Half-Hourly Settlement (MHHS)" reform?
Has anyone successfully replaced their CT meter with a smaller whole-current meter?
