A Meter Operator (MOP) agreement is a mandatory contract for any business with a half-hourly (HH) electricity meter — required when a site & maximum demand exceeds 100kW. Without a MOP agreement, your electricity supplier will automatically apply default MOP charges, which typically range from £50 to £150 per month. eforenergy arranges MOP contracts that can reduce these charges by more than half.
Without a MOP contract, suppliers typically charge between £50 and £150 per month — up to £1,800 per year. With a MOP contract arranged through eforenergy, costs start from just £25 per month (£300 per year). This represents a potential saving of up to £1,500 every year for businesses with half-hourly metered electricity supplies.
Having your own MOP agreement gives your business the ability to avoid unreasonable supplier default charges, obtain billing based on actual consumption rather than estimates, access detailed half-hourly data for energy management and consumption reduction, and ensure compliance with energy market regulations. eforenergy negotiates MOP agreements on your behalf to deliver maximum value.
Any UK business with a half-hourly (HH) electricity meter is required by law to have a Meter Operator agreement in place. HH meters are typically installed at sites with a maximum demand over 100kW, including large manufacturing facilities, data centres, supermarkets, hospitals, hotels, and other high-consumption commercial premises. eforenergy advises businesses on their metering obligations and secures competitive MOP agreements.
eforenergy manages the entire MOP contract process on your behalf. The team assesses your current metering setup, identifies whether you are on default supplier charges, and negotiates a compliant, cost-saving MOP agreement from its panel of accredited Meter Operators. Once in place, eforenergy monitors the arrangement to ensure ongoing compliance and value.
