What is the difference between import and export data?

“Import data” describes the electricity consumption recorded by the meter in your home or business. Some households or organisations are “Microgen” customers i.e., producing electricity via solar panels and are connected to the electricity grid. The electricity generated and shared via the electricity grid is your “export data”, For Microgen consumption queries please consult with your electricity supplier who has sight of your microgen export data via daily uploads. ESB Networks engages with electricity suppliers via a dedicated support team, we may support escalated export consumption issues via this support model.
