The company Eltel will execute the actual electricity meter change. Therefore, they are the ones who will be in touch with more detailed information as the meter change in your household approaches.
How well in advance you will receive information about time and date for your change, and how specific this information is, depends on where your meter is located. If it is located indoors, we might need your help to reach it. In that case, you will be appointed to a time and date for the change. If it is located outdoors, or in a central location in the property, for example in a multi-occupied building, Eltel will handle the replacement, and you will receive an approximate date of when the change will take place.
For your safety, Eltel’s installers are able to present identification with a certificate of competence issued by Eltel and Göteborg Energi.

If your meter is located inside your house, you, or a person aged 18 or older, need to be at home for the change. You or that person need to be able to show the installer where the electricity meter is located.
When the installer replaces your meter, the electricity will be switched off for about 15-20 minutes. This might affect the lift, utility room, internet connection and other functions dependent on electricity.
Prior to our visit, please clean up any items that might obscure the meter. This allows for a smooth change.
We like animals, but not during electrical work. Please see to that no pets get in our installers’ way.
If you have your own equipment connected to the meter, the functions of that equipment will be erased with the meter change.
The Swedish Energy Markets Inspectorate have developed new performance requirements for every electricity meter that all Swedish power distribution companies need to relate to. The new performance requirements must be implemented at the latest the 1st of January 2025. This means that we plan to replace all our electricity meters in Gothenburg during the period 2022-2024. If you want to know more about the performance requirements, go to The Swedish Energy Markets Inspectorate website: https://ei.se/ei-in-english
A new meter is installed. The meter reading and the billing will appear as before, above the actual consumption. Neither the new meter nor the work replacing the meter will cause additional costs for you as a customer.
The change of the electricity meters will take place during the latter part of 2022 and continue until the end of 2024. As we approach your electricity meter change, Eltel will contact you with more detailed information.

We have several customers that are about to have their electricity meters replaced and we appreciate that there is a big interest.

No. The electricity grid prices depend on several factors. As of today, there is nothing that indicates that the electricity meter change will entail increased fees.
Yes, it is possible. Already today, we are installing an electricity meter that can handle own-produced electricity for those customers who want to produce their own electricity, for example solar energy.
However, this doesn’t mean that this electricity meter will not be replaced. All electricity meters that have been installed before the autumn of 2022 will be replaced.
It is correct that the M-bus output is not compatible with the new electricity meters that will be installed from 2022 and onward. We know that several companies are developing adaptor solutions that probably will be on the market during 2022. Companies are welcome to contact us if they are interested in trying the customer interface (HAN-port P1) on our new electricity meter OMNIA eMeter. You will be updated as soon as we have more information about possible solutions.
