Avoid Overpaying!
If you’re on Half Hourly Supply with Marble Power and see “DA/DC HH” and “HH MOP” charges on your monthly invoice, you could be paying £220/year too much. That’s a 49% premium for these required services, which adds up to £1,100 in savings over the standard five-year MOP contract.
Why Pay More?
Every Half Hourly meter requires a Meter Operator (MOP) and Data Collector/Data Aggregator (DC/DA). If you don’t appoint your own MOP and DC/DA, you’ll be charged expensive default rates by the supplier. If you have a Half Hourly meter (MPAN starting with 00) and are on supply with Marble, get in touch with Direct Power today to ensure you’re not overpaying for your MOP and DC/DA services.
Understanding Marble Power’s Charges
Marble Power applies default MOP and DC/DA charges when you haven’t appointed your own provider for these services.
What is a MOP?
A Meter Operator (MOP) provides and maintains your electricity meter and communications, typically on a five-year lease contract. If you see a Meter Operator Charge on your supply bill, this is a default MOP charge. We’ve seen Marble invoices bill customers as much as 109.589 p/day, equating to £450 per year. This is way too expensive. We currently offer MOP services at £230/year, a 74% price reduction.
What is DC/DA?
A Data Collector (DC) is responsible for collecting and processing your electricity data and delivering it to your Data Aggregator (DA) and electricity supplier. The DA aggregates metered data in accordance with industry standards, ensuring it’s compiled for settlement and billing purposes.
If you see a DA/DC HH charge or similar on your bill, this is Marble’s default DC/DA charge. We’ve helped customers save 22% by appointing their own DC/DA via Direct Power. Get in touch today to see if we can arrange similar savings for your account. It’s certainly better to have an extra £50/year in your account rather than paying this out to Marble!
Be Vigilant!
We’ve come across instances where suppliers have double-billed clients for MOP and DC/DA services. If you have your own MOP and DC/DA contract in place and suspect you’re being double-billed, please get in touch. Direct Power can help facilitate a credit for any erroneous double billing.
What to do?
Pay attention to the line items on your bill. Complacency is easy and understandable when it comes to reconciling your monthly electricity bill, but there may be significant savings to be found! If you suspect double billing or don’t understand something, get in touch with Direct Power. At the very least, we can answer your questions about MOP and DC/DA services. At the very best, we can find you significant savings on these services.
