Metering Coordinator (MC)

The role of the MC is independent of both the network business and the electricity retailer. As an MC, we’re responsible for appointing the MP who installs and maintains the meter and the MDP who collects customer energy usage data and provides it to the NEM, the electricity retailer and other customer nominated parties.

We make complexity easy for our customers, and once appointed as MC take care of everything to ensure high-quality metering services that meet your needs as well as AEMO requirements. You can nominate us as your MC via your energy retailer.

Metering Provider (MP)

We are an accredited MP which means we can install, commission, gather, and verify data remotely from meters within the NEM market. MP services include the provision, installation and maintenance of compliant metering within the NEM Type 1-4 category.

As an MP, we have proudly led the industry in developing innovative load control and solar metering solutions, while also being an early enabler of remote metering capabilities including disconnection and reconnection services.
