Where ESB Networks cannot read your meter to record smart export quantities, over a period of 8 days, we will provide deemed export quantities to your supplier in their place. The design of the interim microgeneration scheme is such that deemed export quantities will not be replaced by actual values. This means that, in instances where deemed quantities have been sent to your supplier, there will be a discrepancy between the data used for remuneration and the data recorded on the smart meter, or on the ESB Networks HDF files.
