Our house has 2 electricity meters - will we get two £400 discounts?

House is very old and rambling, and at some point was divided up for two households. We bought it as one property (council tax is for one property too). But there are two electricity meters under the stairs that each supply different bits of the house and different outbuildings. We supply meter readings for both meters and pay two bills, I know that's barking and we are currently trying to get them removed and replaced by a single meter but it turns out that's actually more complicated than you might think Confused

But it's just occured to me - will both meters get the energy discount applied to them?

Sorry, posted the wrong link - www.ukpowernetworks.co.uk/electricity/disconnect

Talks about having one or more electricity meters removed and there's a form you can fill in to apply for someone to come and survey and quote. I'm not sure if the work would include making sure everything is properly connected to the remaining meter, but I would have thought this would be possible.

Bum. That would have been useful. We have two meters and two bills with seperate companies. Similar to OP weird situation with an old house that was previously an office and for some weird reason needed a three phase power supply to the garage?!

Still not managed to find out what will happen but I guess it'll become clear soon!

We have the same set up and I think we will get two payments. Planning to donate one of them.

👍👍 I admire your generosity
