A device using an unmetered supply generally has low consumption and uses a similar amount of energy each day. Its usage is easy to predict, so a meter isn't needed.

Unmetered supply device examples:

  • Streetlights

  • Sports ground flood lights

  • Public BBQs

  • Cable TV hubs

  • nbn® cabinets

  • Public telephones

  • Public sprinklers/irrigation

  • CCTV cameras

  • Parking sensors

These devices are set to “always on”. They connect directly to the energy network for ongoing, reliable power supply.
