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.

    Are A not in effect under contract with B to supply ?


    I doubt their contact would be that well drawn up considering the consequences described. I'd seek legals to draft letter to B saying that due to repeated failure to pay on time, they have to make payments on time and failure to do so will result in disconnection, with a little add on to say B has 6 months to get their own supply installed, after which, the supply is disconnected, irrespective of history.


    As to loss of A's supply for failing to pay their own and B's, I can't see B having any recourse having brought it upon themselves.
