METER

Switching over to PacificLight does not require you to change your current meter (Cumulative Meter), unless you are signing up for our Save While Sleeping, Stack It Up or 9 to 9 plans1.

MANUAL METER

Most residential premises are using manual meters. SP Group sends meter readers to your premises to record your electricity usage on a bi-monthly basis. On the month where the meter is not read, SP Group will use an estimated usage. Our plans - Stick To It, Savvy Saver, Sunny Side-Up, Confirm Save, Easy Peasy, and Classic 60 - work absolutely fine with manual meters.

SMART METER

The Smart Meter allows electricity consumption to be measured and read remotely at half-hourly intervals. This means meter readers will not need to go to your premises, and there will be no more estimation of your electricity consumption.

There are two types of Smart Meters — single-phase and three-phase — that depend on your premises’ voltage intake level. Residential consumers typically require single-phase Smart Meters.

To install a Smart Meter, there will be one-time fee of $40 (before GST) per meter per installation.

1 With the Save While Sleeping, Stack It Up or 9 to 9 plans, your hourly usage needs to be tracked by a Smart Meter which measures your electricity consumption every half-hour.
