Meter Point Administration Number
The system was introduced in 1998 to aid creation of a competitive environment for the electricity companies, and allows consumers to switch their supplier easily as well as simplifying administration.
The full MPAN is required to be depicted on electricity bills (the boxes on the top and bottom line are generally unaligned).
exceeds 100kW.HH data is recorded by the meter and collected by an onsite download, or by remote communication methods such as GSM, SMS, GPRS or telephone line.
[3] The MTC is a 3 digit code that reflects the various registers a meter may have, such as a single rate, day/night split, or a seasonal time of day.
[5][6] The Line Loss Factor Class or LLFC[7] is an alphanumeric code used to identify the related Distribution Use of System (DUoS) charges for the MPAN.
[8] They effectively carry electricity from the National Grid to the exit points (each having a unique MPAN and a possibility of several meters) where the customers are.
Since 2003, it has been possible for microgeneration projects, with a capacity of 30 kW or below, to have a non-half-hourly meter to measure export back into the distribution network.
As part of the Marketwide Half Hourly Arrangements (MHHS), all export consumption will be required to be registered and settled on a half-hourly basis.
[17] Examples are street lights, traffic signals, signs, bollards, telephone kiosks, CCTV and advertising displays.
Generally the equipment would either be in operation and taking a supply of electricity 24 hours a day, or be controlled by a photocell, as is often the case for street lights.
To do so, they employ a meter administrator[18][19] who will use daily data from a photo-electric control unit (PECU) array which is then used to calculate the energy consumption.
If, however, the unmetered supplies are being traded as non half-hourly the UMSO undertakes the responsibility to calculate an EAC (Estimated Annual Consumption).
ECOES (formally the Electricity Central Online Enquiry Service) is now the Electricity Enquiry Service (EES) is a website that allows users and authorised industry parties to search for supply details (past and present) using such things as the 13-digit MPAN bottom line number, the meter serial number or the postcode.
The user can determine a wide range of data relating to the supply including the full address, meter details, the current energisation status and also the appointed parties (i.e. the supplier, distributor, MOP, DC and DA).
