[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 364183, member: 6969"] This is a barmy situation. I can't believe the bank is too impressed with having to give access to their premesis for meter reading etc. What you really want is your own supply in your own building. Have you tried enquiring about a "new" supply to your part? It must be possible to move one of the 3 phase meters to your building. but there will be a cost attached. Is the issue you have enquired before but didn't like the cost they quoted? The one I referred to where two houses were joined to make one, the DNO would not remove one supply for free, they wanted £1000 because it would have involved digging up the road, so in that case the "spare" supply is still there, with nothing connected to it, on a zero standing charge contract with Ebico. I guess at some point in the future someone might realise it's silly keep sending a meter reader round and sending out bills for £0 and disconnect it, but my customer was adamant he was not paying £1000 for a disconnection so that's the arrangement. The whole lot is a mess now. I'm just getting a new supply in on a building plot, and now have the supply but have a 6 week wait to get the meter installed. [/QUOTE]
