We fix the metering foundations and give you reliable consumption data you can actually use. ![NU - Network Connections Brochure 2026 (1)](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/hubfs/NU%20-%20Network%20Connections%20Brochure%202026%20(1).png) ### Download the overview See how we support network connections projects from early planning through to delivery. ![NU - Network Connections Brochure 2026 (1)](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/hubfs/NU%20-%20Network%20Connections%20Brochure%202026%20(1).png) [Download](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/hubfs/2026%20brochures/NU%20-%20Network%20Connections%20Brochure%202026.pdf) ## What we do   We manage commercial metering across electricity and gas, from faults and upgrades to ongoing reporting. If you are moving to half-hourly, dealing with an AMR or smart meter issue, or trying to get multi-site billing under control, we run the process end to end. ## When to involve us   Bring us in when you have any of the following: persistent estimated billing, frequent meter faults, supplier changes that trigger issues, half-hourly migration requirements, multi-tenant sub-metering complexity, or a need for better visibility on usage and demand. ## Half-hourly vs non half-hourly metering     **Non half-hourly metering** typically relies more heavily on periodic reads and estimates, which increases the chance of billing drift over time. **Half-hourly metering** records consumption in 30-minute intervals and makes it much easier to reconcile invoices to actual usage, spot anomalies, and understand demand patterns. If you are in scope for half-hourly settlement changes, we manage the steps needed to get you migrated cleanly and keep billing stable during the change. ## Smart meters vs AMR   Both smart meters and AMR provide regular automated readings, but they are not the same thing. **AMR** is primarily one-way communication from site to supplier and is often used where a standard smart meter is not suitable or where you need a specific commercial metering arrangement. **Smart meters** support two-way communications and operate within the national smart metering communications framework. If a standard smart meter is not the right fit, we can specify and arrange AMR, align the right metering parties, and keep the data flowing into billing and reporting.   ## How Nationwide Utilities supports your business We audit what’s installed and what data is flowing, fix faults and admin blockers, and keep you compliant with accurate reporting across metered, sub-metered, and unmetered supplies. ![](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/hubfs/n%20(13).png) ### Step 1: Metering health check We review meter assets, data quality, settlement position, and recent billing behaviour. ### Step 2: Fix and stabilise We coordinate the right parties to correct faults, replace or upgrade meters, and resolve data gaps. ### Step 3: Ongoing visibility You get usable reporting that highlights anomalies early and supports budgeting and operational decisions. ![NU cirlce](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/hubfs/Banner%20images/circle%20(1).png) ## Request a metering health check ### If you are dealing with estimated bills, metering faults, or half-hourly migration, share your site details and we provide you with a free assessment ## Nationwide Utilities Limited 346 Kensington High Street London W14 8NS United Kingdom - [020 3475 2000](tel:02034752000) - [enquiry@nationwideutilities.com](mailto:enquiry@nationwideutilities.com)  ## Quick Links - [About Us](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/about-us) - [Contact Us](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/contact-us/) - [Testimonials](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/testimonials/) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/privacy-policy/) - [Terms of Service](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/terms-of-service) - [FAQ](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/faq/) - [Partners](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/partners/) -
