What is an MID meter?
The MID directive (EN 50470-3) certifies kWh meters for billing-grade accuracy. ERE only counts a built-in MID meter inside your charger — look for a green 'M' logo on the type plate plus the 'EN 50470-3' standard.

Why MID matters for your ERE payout
Three things to know before signing an ERE contract.
External MID meters drop out in 2027
From 2027 the NEa stops accepting external MID intermediate meters in the meter cabinet. If that's your current setup, plan an upgrade to a charger with built-in MID in time — otherwise your ERE payout disappears from 2027.
Smart readout matters too
Many ERE providers require your charger to be remotely readable (OCPP / cloud link) on top of MID. Without that link you have to upload meter readings manually — and most providers refuse manual uploads.
