Electric Sub-meter Installation Request Letter to Electricity Board

A landlord might require sub-meters installation for the rooms or flats rented to his different tenants to separately identify their electric consumption monthly, and accordingly claim payments from them.

Similarly, in a joint family, each family may want to pay electricity bills in proportion to their consumption. Likewise, in many other cases, people or organizations apply for sub-meters to the electricity board company.

Please check with your Electricity board if they have any specific application form or any online facility to apply for sub-meters - if not, then you can write an application letter giving details of your electricity connection, requesting for sub-meters installation and the reasons for such installation.

Some of the electricity companies are making available online facilities to their consumers for applying for sub meters installation.

Here are a couple of samples of the application letters for your reference.
