The Meter Services Charge covers the cost of installing and maintaining metering equipment, including inspecting, repairing, and replacing meters, along with reading and processing meter data. From 1 July 2023, the Meter Services Charges for primary and secondary tariffs for small customers are included in the service fee, as determined by the Queensland Competition Authority. For customers with solar PV, the Meter Services Charge for solar feed-in tariffs will remain as a separate item on your bill.
