UK sites with metered electricity

At Standcliffe House CL we paid money into a meter and used up any spare left by the previous occupants. All ok.

At Cholsey Grange CL we had an allowance included in the site fee and any excess was payable after the final meter reading. All ok.

In both cases we were more careful with the usage, it stops wastage.

How were the meters read to give your usage,?

you put money into the meter ... you use electric .... the dial moves towards zero ... you put more money in! Just like another other coin meter. What you don't use is a bonus for the next person.

You might find out more by looking up those particular CLs were more info is given. The electricity can't be sold for a profit so charges and readings are related to the actual cost per kwh. Meters can be read by looking at them.

JVB, I've given two examples, there are various way of meter readings, some can be done remotely.

That is where on some larger sites the initial set up costs as was said at the AGM is prohibitive
