Check the exact flat

Utako is split, so the flat's meter number is the only way to know.

  1. Get the meter number. It’s on the meter and on any token receipt.

    “Hello, before I pay for the flat, please send me the prepaid meter number (or a photo of a recent token receipt) so I can confirm its electricity band. Thank you.”

    Send on WhatsApp (opens WhatsApp)

  2. Enter the account or meter number on AEDC’s tariff information portal (opens in a new tab)

    It was down when we checked on 11 Oct 2026. If it still is, use step 3.

  3. Or read a token receipt: a tariff code starting with A (e.g. ‘A-Non MD’) means Band A.

A listing can say Band A for a flat that's on another feeder. Ask for the meter number before paying.

About Utako

Is Utako Band A?
Partly. 4 of the 7 feeders the official lists name for Utako are Band A, but NERC's October 2026 caps put three of those on Band B. 3 are Band B, but the same caps put two of the Band B feeders on Band A. Your band depends on the feeder your flat is on.
How many hours of power does Utako get?
Band A feeders are promised at least 20 hours a day and Band B at least 16. These are promised minimums, not guaranteed supply; a Band A feeder under 20 hours for 7 days in a row must be moved down.
How do I check a flat's band in Utako?
Ask for the meter number and enter it on AEDC's tariff information portal, or read a recent token receipt: a tariff code starting with A (for example 'A-Non MD') means Band A.
