How do I upgrade my business energy meter?

There are two possible situations where you might need to upgrade your business energy meter. You could be upgrading to an Automated Meter Reading (AMR) System or a smart meter. If your energy usage is higher than what you had anticipated when you signed on for your energy contract, you might also need to upgrade your business’ energy meter. This is to make sure that they can accommodate for your actual usage.
