• Calibration must be carried out annually by EVN or by an authorized
company appointed by EVN for both meters.
• Re-calibration should be carried out within 10 days of either of the
following events:
 Measurement error between main meter and secondary meter is high
 Energy meter has been repaired due to component malfunction

Quality control & quality assurance
What may go wrong during implementations ?
o Change in technical specification of power plant
o Different type / accuracy of electricity meter installed
o Data mismatch between electronic data submitted and hard copy
data
o Meters not calibrated on time
o Hard copy documents not maintained at power plant office
Make regular visit to power plant site and ensure all the above aspects
