What is a MOP Contract?

A MOP (Meter Operator) agreement is a contract that’s separate from other electricity agreements where you will be invoiced directly from your Meter Operator. They provide a much more accurate measurement of your electricity consumption.

This is then passed over to your chosen energy supplier or a DC/DA provider of your choice. MOP contracts are a legal requirement for those affected by P272 legislation. Or those with a half-hourly (HH) meter (when your meter transmits a read to your supplier every 30 minutes either via a sim card or hard phone line connection). A HH meter is a requirement for sites that have a maximum electricity demand of over 100KW.

Why choose a MOP Contract?

If you don’t choose a MOP yourself, your supplier will provide one for you at their default cost – which can be double the price. So, instead of supplier estimates, you’ll receive more accurate prices for just the energy you use because your Meter Operator will be passing accurate data to your electricity supplier.

Your Meter Operator will take care of all installation and maintenance requirements for your HH meter, including the communication line between you and your supplier or DC/DA (Data Collection and Data Aggregation, a mandatory service linked to your HH meter) so that data is being continuously passed on.

Contract length can range from 1 to 10 years, and costs can vary significantly based on the contract term.

Get in Touch

If you have a Half-hourly meter (you can tell by having a look at your MPAN on your bill – there will be a ‘00’ within the top left box of the MPAN) and are not aware of these charges and are being charged a default rate by your supplier, please get in touch with our experts on 0115 648 5655.
