ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention provides electricity metering apparatus which, preferably, is designed in the form of an add- on attachment for a conventional watt-hour electricity meter. sensor generates pulses, the repetition rate of which is dependent on the rate of consumption of units of electricity, and the total number of which determine the number of units of electricity consumed. The meter would provide indication of usage of power exceeding a preset limit. These pulse are fed selectively to one of a plurality of accumulator-registers which count and store the pulses by means of a gating circuit operating under the control of a control device. The control device gates the pulses to a selected one of the registers according to the time of day, day of the week, or season etc. so that each register counts the number of units consumed in the particular period associated with that register. In this manner, different charges may be made for different periods of the day etc., so as to encourage the consumer to use electricity at times when there is not a heavy demand on the electricity generating equipment. In this manner, the load curve can be flattened so as to reduce the total amount of generating capacity required.
