Reading Your Meter

The Nevis Electricity Company Limited is the sole provider of electricity on the island of Nevis.
  • There are three different types of meters used by NEVLEC; the Clock Meter, the Dgital Meter and the Electric Meter.
  • All meters are read from left to right
  • Most of our meters are either 5 or 6 digit meters
  • If and when the total number of units recorded exceeds 99,999 or 999,999 the meter starts again at 0.

Instructions on how to read the different meters are listed below:

  • The total units used are shown by a row of numbers.
  • Always remember that the reading on a digital meter is the total number of units used.
  • If and when the total number of units recorded exceeds 99,999 the meter starts again at 0.

How to read a digital meter

  • A digital meter has a row of numbers consisting of a total of five numbers.
  • Write down the numbers as they read from left to right.
  • The reading taken would be subtracted from the previous reading on your bill, which would give you the total units used for the month.
