    Hello

    At home I have two meters in one cabinet, it used to be useful, but it doesn`t matter because now there are only costs. They are both on me and I would like to "merge" them. I`m currently at Tauron and the consultant, correcting himself several times, presented it more or less like this:

    "Submit an application to determine the connection conditions (WP and WP-T), conclude a connection agreement, - terminate one agreement at the receiving point from which the power is transferred based on the application to terminate the agreement - update the comprehensive agreement based on the Technical Data Sheet and submitting "application for concluding or changing the terms of a comprehensive agreement"

    Has anyone had anything similar to do? I thought it would be enough to eliminate one meter and connect it to another, and it would look like the legislative procedure for a resolution in the Sejm...

    What kind of pre-district security, what capacity is in the current contracts, what security and capacity after the merger?
    Because maybe you don`t have to deal with Tauron...

    The easiest way is to calculate how much power you need and if it is installed on one of the meters, simply give up the other one and connect to the one that remains. You need to know the power of the devices that are throughout the house.

    The meter that would remain is for: 3 phases, Power 16, Protection 35A
    The second one: 1 phase, Power 4, protection 25A

    They are connected to one riser anyway, most likely to the 35A ones, there was simply a night tariff in the past.
    So simply an application to reset the meter and connect it to the 3-phase one? This must be done by a local electrician or a licensed electrician, and will a new contract or annex be necessary?

    Hi ! With ZE, you need to arrange the above-mentioned paperwork and consent to unsealing the meter. The electrician then does his job. After completing it, you report it to the Central Energy Office and after some time a gentleman will come to collect the dismantled meter.

    You terminate the contract with the energy company and demand that the meter be dismantled. A gentleman from the emergency service arrives, takes the meter and cuts off the power to the already removed meter. You can do the rest with the help of an electrician you find/know.

    Will the electrician be able to connect this line to the left meter on his own? As the colleague wrote above, there are seals

    yes, and you can reconnect it before taking the meter so that you don`t have to stay in a part of the house without electricity, it`s a simple operation

    The electrician may submit a request to the ZE for unsealing, citing a failure.
    It may also be possible to connect the installations a bit further away where there are no seals (circuit protection).

    I don`t think so. For the night tariff, the clocks had two counters.

    Your solution is probably the so-called "power and light", i.e. one meter for cheaper energy in the household tariff and the other, with a higher rate and limits, for an individual farm or a "socialized" workshop.

    If the procedure proposed by the consultant gives you an increase in security to 40A, it is worth going for it.
    If 35A is still left, it is easier to cancel the meter.

    Exactly as you say, but such a division is no longer valid nowadays? I have a night tariff for the light one and it`s more expensive for me, maybe I would leave it like that, but if now they add a power fee to both meters, why pay. This procedure looks worse than applying for a mortgage... it puts me off. It will probably be eliminated.

    Not necessarily. You still need to install a second meter if you run a business in a residential building and it is profitable for you to include energy and VAT in your costs.

    I would describe it as very unusual that you got a dual-tariff meter only for "light". Because you can use it only at night tariff and during the day you can consume energy at the "average" price from the "power" meter instead of the increased one.

    Either way, "force and light" suggests that your installation is fifty years old. It`s definitely time for a major renovation.

    Well, somewhere in the 1970s, after my parents ;) .I don`t deduct anything there. There was already an electrician at my place, but he couldn`t figure it all out, hehe. I asked my parents and in fact, once upon a time, this "light" was only one line that was used for the steamer many years ago, then unfortunately they distributed this line with a night tariff and a lot of people use it during the day.
    I definitely need to switch to strength training, or rather eliminate this one.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the process of merging two energy meters under Tauron. The user seeks to eliminate one of the two meters currently installed in their home, which are connected to a single riser. Participants suggest that the user should assess their power needs and determine if one meter can handle the load. The procedure involves submitting an application to Tauron for connection conditions, terminating one contract, and possibly updating the comprehensive agreement. An electrician is required for the physical connection and unsealing of the meter. Concerns are raised about the complexity of the process and the potential for increased costs due to power fees. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the current contracts and power capacities before proceeding with the merger.
