Common use of METERING AND BILLING Clause in Contracts

METERING AND BILLING. a) The Natural Gas supply will be measured by the Meter and metering equipment installed and maintained in line with the relevant Connection Agreement which sets out the main commercial terms for the connection of loads to the Gas Networks Ireland Distribution System at your Premises. Gas Networks Ireland staff, its agents or contractors will read the Meter. b) If we have not been able to get Meter readings for any reason, we will use estimated readings. You can also provide Gas Networks Ireland with your own Meter reading by phoning 1850 427 732 or you can submit your Meter reading to us directly by calling us on ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇. c) If you or we discover that any Meter reading has been inaccurate or omitted or the readings have not been converted into charges correctly, you or we as the case may be, must pay any money that is due at the date of the next bill. d) In between readings of the Meter, estimations of your Natural Gas consumption may be made by Gas Networks Ireland using the FAR process. An estimated meter read will be calculated using the FAR process having regard to a number of factors including (but not limited to) prior Natural Gas usage at the Premises, the time of year and the nature of the Premises. e) We will regularly, usually every two months (or as otherwise agreed) send you bills for Natural Gas that you use. Your bill may also include charges for services that we have agree to supply to you and will include VAT. The Supplier may also include in your bill charges (plus VAT) for any services that we have agreed to supply to you and that you have agreed to receive. f) You must pay us for any Siteworks that we or you have requested be carried out at your Premises and for which we have been charged by Gas Networks Ireland. This includes (but is not limited to) the locking, unlocking, disconnection, reconnection or testing of the Meter. g) If the Supplier supplies Natural Gas to the Customer but all or part of such Natural Gas supplied is not registered by the Meter (due to a fault or unauthorised interference or any other reason), the Customer must pay an amount equal to the charge that we and Gas Networks Ireland estimate would have been payable had the Meter or metering equipment been working properly. h) A copy of our code of practice concerning arrangements for billing (entitled “Bill Payment”) may be obtained on our website at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇ or by contacting us in accordance with Condition 22.
