Questions

What else do people ask about connecting a meter?

What do I need to connect an energy meter to Termina?

A recent energy bill and access to the email address your retailer bills. The bill lets us identify your retailer, NMI and tariff, and the email redirects future bills to your Termina mailbox.

What is bill autoforwarding?

You email your retailer and ask them to send all future bills to your dedicated Termina address, for example yourorganisation@mail.termina.io. CC support@termina.io. Every bill is then processed as it arrives, and your retailer emails are forwarded on to the email on your account.

What if my retailer can only send bills to one email address?

That's fine. Use your Termina address. You will still receive all retailer communications at the email you choose, and you can change that destination email later.

Which files can I upload?

PDF, JPG or PNG, up to 10 MB. The retailer's PDF is best, because it carries every line we read.

How long until I see my data?

Once your connection is set up, bills are processed as they arrive, and your data shows on the dashboard within 24 hours.

What does the Termina platform cost?

Free to start with your first 50 bills, or $0 when we run your procurement. Talk to us about more options.

Can I send bills to Termina by API?

Yes. The bill extraction API returns the raw extracted data from a bill PDF, for developers, with 50 API credits free. Those credits are separate from your first 50 bills on the platform. Developer documentation is at docs.termina.com.
