Reminders and alerts

Reminders

Your school has three electricity meters which are all capable of sharing data with us. The electricity meter which serves the Stonehill building (MPAN 1100039615800) has been estimated since mid-January 2023 and your supplier is investigating this. In the meantime, this meter's data has been removed from your account. Therefore, please keep in mind that your account isn't showing the school's total electricity consumption yet. Your school has four gas meters and the data for MPRN 9306045709 has been missing since 10/01/25. This has been raised with your supplier.
