The good news is that your electricity meter is designed to automatically update with the correct time. But it’s simple to check it yourself.
All you need to do is press the button on your meter, which will be either green or orange, and scroll through the display options until you see the date and time.
Please check the time on your meter is correct as this will impact your low-rate time bands. If they are not correct, please call us on 01481 200700 so we can arrange for your meter to be updated.
Guernsey Electricity has also produced a simple guide to reading your meter, which you can find here.
Top tip - use your appliances between 11pm and 5am to use 100% renewable electricity. And, this low-rate electricity will cost you over 50% less than earlier in the day if you're on the Super Economy 12 Tariff.
Make sure your heating system and boilers are all set to the updated time too.
