At Voltari, we’re committed to delivering safe, high-quality, and efficient metering services. Our Safe Isolation Provider (SIP) status, accredited through the Retail Energy Code’s (REC) Metering Equipment Manager (MEM) status, enhances our ability to offer flexible, reliable, and safe isolation services.

With SIP accreditation, we can directly manage critical metering and electrical work, simplifying the process for local authorities, letting agents, social housing associations, and property owners. This means faster execution of projects, seamless integration with renewable energy installations, and greater control over essential work.

In this article, we’ll explore what SIP status entails, how it benefits our clients, and why choosing Voltari as your trusted partner for safe isolation work ensures compliance, safety, and efficiency.

‍

What is SIP, and What Does it Mean for Customers? 

SIP is a specialised add-on to our MEM status and allows us to provide safe isolation services, generally in relation to renewable technologies. It was introduced in June 2023 to combat the barrier of MEMs only being authorised to work on energy suppliers who have appointed them. 

SIP status allows flexibility and reduces waiting time. Overall, it hugely benefits consumers who can appoint any MEM to work on their meter supply point.

How Do Customers Benefit From Our SIP Status?

Direct Access to Metering Services

As a Safe Isolation Provider, Voltari can contract directly with premises owners, including local authorities, private landlords, social housing associations, and individual property owners. This allows for faster, more efficient execution of critical electrical work without the need to coordinate through an energy supplier’s MEM.

Seamless Integration for Renewable Energy

The SIP accreditation is particularly beneficial for renewable energy projects. Whether it’s the installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging points or other energy-efficient technologies, Voltari can de-energise and re-energise meters directly, simplifying the installation process and reducing delays.

Increased Flexibility and Control 

With SIP accreditation, premises owners have the flexibility to hire Voltari for safe isolation work without needing to go through their energy supplier. This provides greater control over the timing and execution of essential tasks, ensuring that projects stay on schedule and meet regulatory standards.

Compliance with Industry Standards

Voltari’s SIP certification ensures that all work is carried out in compliance with the Retail Energy Code (REC) and the Distribution Connection and Use of System Agreement (DCUSA). Our services are fully aligned with the latest industry standards, guaranteeing safe, compliant, and high-quality results.

Trusted Partner for Safe Isolation

Few companies in the UK hold both MEM and SIP accreditations. Voltari’s achievement of these certifications underscores our commitment to safety, reliability, and client satisfaction. Our team of accredited professionals is trained to execute safe isolation tasks with precision, ensuring the smooth operation of your energy systems.
