Gas AMR (automated meter reading) and encompass are part of npower’s m3 portfolio of products and services designed to help you ‘measure, monitor and minimise’ your energy consumption. Together these products will increase the accuracy, reliability and accessibility of your gas data. This is achieved through a simple upgrade to your existing gas meter combined with our sophisticated energy management software, encompass.

How it worksWe’ll install a data logger on your existing pulsed output gas meter.* This sends your profile data to encompass for energy management purposes, and also makes your metered consumption data available for billing.

Benefits• You can manage and monitor your consumption, costs and carbon usage for your gas portfolio• You can also view the performance of your entire utility portfolio when you load all your other utility data into encompass

• You’ll be able to more easily adhere to requirements of the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme and take advantage of the Early Action Metrics

• AMR data can be used by your gas supplier which means no more estimates and more accurate bills• Your meter is read remotely so you and your gas supplier won’t need access to your meter so often• Your Gas AMR arrangements are separate to your gas supply contract, so you aren’t tied into a supply contract with any one supplier
