Metering
Electricity North West does not supply electricity and therefore we do not install meters, so you will need to arrange for your supplier to install a meter following the installation of the service by Electricity North West.
Your appointed supplier will require your MPAN number which we will provide following acceptance of your quotation.
To locate Electricity Supplier please see direct.gov.uk.
For all other metering enquiries please contact your supplier
