Electrical Sub Metering Services

We deliver electrical sub metering services that give organisations detailed, reliable insight into how electricity is used across buildings, systems, and operations. By measuring consumption beyond the main incoming supply, electrical sub metering supports accurate cost allocation, improved efficiency, operational control, and informed investment decisions. Electrical sub metering is particularly valuable in commercial, industrial, and multi occupied buildings where understanding energy use at a granular level is essential.

Monitoring

What is electrical sub metering?

Electrical sub metering is the measurement of electricity consumption at specific points within an electrical distribution system. This can include distribution boards, floors, zones, plant, lighting circuits, or individual items of equipment.

Instead of viewing electricity use as a single total figure, sub metering shows how power is actually used across different areas and activities. This allows organisations to move away from estimates and assumptions and base decisions on accurate, real consumption data.

For facilities teams

Facilities teams use electrical sub metering to gain visibility over how electrical systems and equipment perform day to day. Circuit level data helps identify abnormal usage, equipment running outside expected hours, and early signs of inefficiency or failure. This supports better maintenance planning, quicker fault diagnosis, and improved control over energy intensive systems.

For property owners

Property owners and managing agents rely on electrical sub metering to allocate electricity costs fairly and transparently. Accurate data reduces disputes, improves tenant confidence, and supports clearer management of shared services within multi let buildings. Sub metering also improves oversight of building performance and helps protect long term asset value.

For sustainability leads

Electricity consumption is a major contributor to carbon emissions. Electrical sub metering provides the level of accuracy required for emissions reporting, benchmarking, and compliance with frameworks such as ESOS, ESG reporting, and wider net zero strategies. Granular data makes it easier to identify where reductions are achievable and to track progress with confidence.

Our Process

How electrical sub metering works

Our approach focuses on practicality, accuracy, and long term value, ensuring sub metering delivers meaningful insight rather than unnecessary complexity.

Step one

Site assessment and distribution review

We review your electrical infrastructure to understand distribution layouts, loads, and operational requirements. This allows us to identify where sub metering will deliver the most value and ensure meters are placed effectively.

Step two

Meter selection and specification

Meters are selected based on circuit type, load characteristics, accuracy requirements, and integration needs. This ensures data is reliable and suitable for monitoring, reporting, and cost allocation.

Step three

Installation and commissioning

Sub meters are installed with minimal disruption to operations. Each meter is tested and commissioned to confirm accuracy and correct data flow into the platform.

Step four

Ongoing data visibility

Once installed, electrical sub meters provide continuous consumption data that can be used to monitor performance, manage costs, and support ongoing improvement.

Our platform

A clear view of electricity use across your organisation

Our platform is designed to turn detailed sub metering data into insight that teams can actually use. By hosting electrical sub metering data alongside other utilities and systems, it creates a consistent and trusted view of energy performance.

Granular insight at circuit and system level

Electrical consumption can be viewed by distribution board, circuit, zone, or equipment type. This helps teams understand how different areas contribute to overall usage and where inefficiencies exist.

Interval data analysis

Consumption data is captured at regular intervals, allowing patterns to be identified over time. This makes it easier to spot out of hours usage, unexpected peaks, and changes in behaviour.

Tariff based cost allocation

Electricity tariffs can be applied directly to sub metered data, enabling accurate cost allocation for tenants, departments, processes, or production lines. This supports fair billing and clearer financial reporting.

Demand profiling and peak management

Minimum, average, and maximum demand levels can be analysed to understand how loads behave throughout the day. This supports demand management and helps reduce exposure to high tariff periods.

Early identification of abnormal behaviour

Changes in consumption patterns can highlight inefficient operation or failing equipment. Early visibility supports condition based maintenance and reduces the risk of unplanned downtime.

Multi site and portfolio reporting

For organisations operating across multiple locations, electrical sub metering data can be viewed and compared using a consistent structure. This supports benchmarking and strategic decision making across portfolios.

Data quality assurance

Automatic checks identify missing data, unexpected gaps, or abnormal readings. Alerts help teams maintain confidence in reporting and billing accuracy.

Operational, financial, and sustainability reporting

Reports can be generated across circuits, systems, and time periods to support audits, investment cases, operational reviews, and sustainability reporting.

Manufacturing and process level insight

In production environments, sub metering allows electricity usage to be linked to specific machinery, processes, or outputs. This enables businesses to understand energy cost per product and identify opportunities to improve efficiency at source.
