Your Unmetered Challenge, Solved

UMS is used for equipment like telecom cabinets, traffic signals, CCTV and more – essentially, whenever installing a meter isn’t practical. Since usage is estimated, it must be accurate. And this can’t be guesswork; it’s backed by law. The Unmetered Supplies Operator (UMSO) is the role that enforces these rules. We make sure your relationship with the UMSO stays accurate and compliant, taking care of essentials like connection agreements, inventory management and UMS Certificates.
