Electricity Provider (Yuno) not showing meter readings on bill

So much about making things easier with a smart reader.
I am sticking to my analogue meter as long as they let me have it!

Even in losstheplot' s example that's only 6 readings in total

I don't see how that's the case - unless the smart meter has three different readings for the different time of day usages? (Like the way the old day/night Nightsaver meters or the equivalent on a smart meter works?)

I think this is the reason. I've 3 tariffs, peak, off-peak and night boost. I get the usage for each one. Getting the actual reading would mean having 3 starts and ends for each day, so approx 90 readings for a month. When the smart meter was configured as Day/Night, I had meter readings.

If you only have a bog standard meter , Leo you can check your readings very simply any time by opening up the meter box door and actually reading what 's a fixed number(s) staring out at you whereas with the new smart meters it can be much more difficult to know what reading is which. It can be quite complicated for some people, which is very unfair.

Head outside in the rain, then try find where I wrote the last reading down? No thanks, I'll just look at it in WAY more details from the couch on my phone!

I'm not saying that they changed the regulations since the introduction of smart meters

That was my point, don't blame smart meters for a regulator decision that predated them.

Yes , I've said this in my previous posts. It is EXACTLY the same as the old Nightsaver meters. There are three different readings for losstheplot's smart meter. There is no reason why the supplier should not show the three opening and three closing reads on the bill.

Hard to help you so I suppose , Leo. Maybe wait for the rain to stop and maybe take a photo of the reads instead of using a pen and paper ?

I don't need help, I have all my usage available broken down into 30 minute periods, all available to download to my phone or PC. Heading out to the meter to get anywhere close to that level of detail just isn't feasible.
 
Just found this thread as I too have just noticed there are no readings on my Yuno electricity bill. But, I take the point about many readings being required. That said, could a simple start/end of month reading be included? Just to know that at the point the bill was calculated, the overall reading was XXXXX?

Leo, how do you check your usage online?

Where can I find the Electric Ireland usage data?

Thanks.

I’m leaving Yuno for electricity - still in contract with them for gas.

I received a call from them about the switch and they reminded me that they operate an advanced payment system, so I will be due a refund, which will take two weeks.

Would operating this advanced payment make meter readings irrelevant, since it seems to be based on estimates of usage?

Meter readings are still eventually needed to ascertain actual usage even if you're on a prepay estimated plan.

This might help

What is an MCC code?

<p><span>A Meter Configuration Code (MCC) is used to describe the type of electricity meter that you have.</span><span> </span></p>
www.bordgaisenergy.ie

MCC12 = Time of Use tariffs, consumption collected every half hour and displayed in day, night and peak intervals
MCC16 = consumption data on a standard tariff and collected on the billing cycle

This is the messy bit about Yuno - they seem to take the payment on the day the bill is released, but thats for the next month yes. So yes, if you've switched away from Yuno, they probably will owe you money.
