MOCOPA does not offer training courses or provide certificates to individuals. Meter Operators are responsible for assessing that meter installers are competent and issue their own certificates (see Appendix 5 - page 74 and Appendix 7 - page 79 in the MOCOPA). If you do not have a competency certificate, the Meter Operator will assess competency against the criteria and issue their certificate where appropriate.

The Meter Operation Code of Practice Agreement (MOCOPA) is an Agreement between electricity distribution businesses and electricity meter operators in Great Britain.

The Agreement authorises meter operators to install and connect meters to the electricity network by clarifying that the equipment being provided, installed and maintained meets appropriate technical requirements and that work is carried out to adequate safety standards.

MOCOPA clarifies duties and obligations and sets out guidelines, compliance with which will give confidence to all parties in the electricity supply market that meters will not introduce barriers to customers switching suppliers nor introduce barriers to entry to participants in these markets.

The arrangements are overseen by a Review Panel and supported by Gemserv in the role of Registration Authority.
