I'm the landlord of 3 flats currently being supplied by one electricity meter: How can I split this up into 3 separate supplies for each flat?

Various options are available for the Landlord of properties split onto multiple flats and HMO’s.

To do it properly it involves having individual supplies/accounts for each flat, or at least having private, (owned by the landlord), sub-meters.properly fitted.
Meters are the only way to tell which flat is using how much energy.

If you want PAYG sub-meters that your tenants top up themselves,  then this is one of the newer options now available that avoids having to issue the tenant with tokens/cards, or having to collect cash from coin meters. (Other suppliers and options are available - a websearch will find them).

Here’s a simple ‘getting started’ guide https://www.topupmeters.co.uk/getting-started
It is ultimately the landlords energy account and the landlord pays the account bill, the top-ups paid by the tenant for their smart-metered use are then credited back to the landlord.
Remember that it is illegal to resell energy to your tenants for more than you pay for it.

Hey @Suyos 

 

Glad to see a couple of our volunteers have already stopped by with some really helpful advice for you on this so I hope that’s been of use to you already.

 

As they’ve mentioned, you’ll need to have an entirely new connection installed for this to happen.
