commercial property prepaid sub-metering Vrs life safety services.

MS01
Does anybody know the rules on sub-metering via prepaid meters feeding commercial customers that have safety services installed. For example if I have a DNO supply coming into commercial building A but from building A it feeds into commercial building B. They are different landlords and building A wants to install a prepaid arrangement as bills are not being paid. Now if building B has a safety service in the form of for evac lifts or smoke vent etc what are the rules on installing a prepaid metering online system. Is it allowed, the system can be toped up online and a direct debiting system can be implemented so it is always topped up. I would presume so as like in a normal building if you don’t pay your bill you’ll get cut off.

    Yes there is but this is a very old development to which the contractor installed it in this way to save money but due to its age the contractor no longer exists. 


    So from a compliance point of view i cant't see there is an issue with it, in the way of a normal building arrangment if you dont pay your imcoming electricity bill you get cut off. 

    Just for clarity Building A has the incoming energy providers meter this supply is then split to not only feed building A but then goes off to feed building B which in itself is a completely separate development with a different owner, and even through it has a sub-meter to which building A landlord try’s to invoice against its always in arrears.
