## Notice

West Sussex County Council (the Council) has a growing number of assets which require sub-metering for example: rooftop solar PV systems and heat pumps. The performance of these systems are measured using sub-meters and some sites also have meters installed to check the quantity of exported electricity (for solar PV systems). These readings are used to: Monitor performance. Prepare claims for Feed in Tariff payments; and Prepare billing for building occupiers. Having complete half hourly readings available on a day + 1 basis is an essential part of our asset management.
