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.

Proof From The People Who Know

Client Testimonial

Warwickshire County Council logo in green featuring a stylized bear standing against a tree with bold text

“Having a service review meeting with our Power Data Associates Account Manager was one of the most useful meetings I have been to for some time. To say it was a worthwhile meeting is an understatement. Also, the Guidance and Information Notes produced by Power Data Associates are full of useful technical information which contributes to the effectiveness of our unmetered asset management.”

“We needed someone to guide us through the entire process – from working out how many meters, where to locate them, and ensuring they were installed correctly, through to getting the MPAN’s registered. The complexity of what needed to happen could have become overly complicated, but IMSERV’s expert managed the whole process from end to end – including liaising with all the key partners – and the whole thing was delivered seamlessly.”

“Working with Power Data Associates is great value for money and takes the heavy lifting out of our energy management. Particularly the Monthly Reports they provide, which makes our data analysis SO easy. The team are always available and help sort out any issues we have”

“Power Data Associates provide us with an incomparable wealth of specialist knowledge, invaluable guidance and assistance in all matters unmetered, their response to our request for DUoS and CRC forecasting calculations were second to none. Considering the consistently accurate data, along with the high quality of service we receive, Power Data Associates are one of our most valued and cost effective service providers.”

“Contracting directly with IMSERV, rather than via a supplier, means we have control over when we carry out remedial work or meter exchanges – vital when we operate critical infrastructure – our energy supplier would not be able to deliver that level of flexibility. The direct relationship also means that we have a real understanding of our portfolio, where issues are occurring and where we can better manage our energy use.”
