Meter registration

[sajeel]

Hi,

What is process to register new meter ofgem approve to supplier, if fitted to new building on dead supply ?

I do not understand what you are trying to do here.

Ofgem approve? What is that?

For a new building you apply to the DNO for a supply and sign a supply contract. The DNO provides the supply and the meter.

You are responsible for the provision of the consumer unit/ distribution board and all wiring after that.

ofgem is the meter approve by the dno, i know i am responsible for wiring after that, but this is a new build flat, coming off three phase, so as supply is dead and no meter fitted, i thought it would be quicker to purchase one from here http://universalmeterservices.co.uk/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=3 and install and then register with dno, stating seial number and 0 meter reading ?

Nope, doesn't work like that. The only people who can provide you with a meter is the MOP who work on behalf of the electricity supplier (not the DNO).

To get a meter you will need to contact the electricity supplier of your choice, and the will arrange for the meter to be installed for you.

those meters are intended for landlords wishing to sub-meter electricity to tenants, etc.

For a new connection to the public supply you will need to do as others have said to get a connection and meter.
