My meter display has failed - what reading do I give my supplier?

Answer:

Due to vast majority of meters on the market containing lithium batteries, their lifespan is approximately 10-12 years (varies depending on model and brand). Subsequently, once the display fails, it is impossible for the user to obtain a reading for the Energy provider or FIT. Therefore, we would advise to check any previous readings from the past year and provide an average reading until a new meter has been installed.

If you are unsure when you meter was manufactured, any MID meters have 'M' marking which represents the year of manufacture i.e. M17 (2017).
