New electricity connection - meter providers

[MarkW1979]

I am building in Scotland; SPEnergy are providing a mains cable hopefully soon and they have given me an mpan number. I have approached EDF who say they can't supply a meter until the house is built and Scottish Power have the following on their website:

 

"Once your Distribution Network Operator and Gas Transporter have generated your supply point reference numbers you will need to confirm that the address has been registered with the Royal Mail. In some instances, the Royal Mail may require the Building completion certificate to have this updated"

 

Does anyone know of any providers in Scotland that provide a meter before the house is built (or should I be asking for a temporary supply)?

 

Cheers,

Octopus. They installed my meter when the plot was literally a field with planning and no warrant (so no address) It took them 5 months from initial contact to meter install though hence why I went early. I asked for a temp supply but it is in fact our permanent supply.
