I try to keep a spreadsheet to log my utility use, but I often leave gaps in the filling in of the sheet. Today, I decided to catch up, and downloaded the last three monthly OVO electricity statements. When I was entering the data, I noticed that the Previous Balance on the first of these was not the same as the previous month's Final Balance as logged on the spreadsheet, and I then saw that I had already earlier downloaded the statement for that period. But when I compared the two versions, the more recent one showed a different meter reading from the earlier one. I then checked, and I had also downloaded the next two statements earlier, and again, the meter readings did not match. Also, the readings are to three decimal places, whereas the meter only has one decimal place. It is not a 'Smartmeter'. Puzzling. I have not bothered to see if the readings match what I submitted. On doing the calculations, the result of the change of readings is in my favour, so I don't think I will complain to OVO.
