# Utility statement

## Introduction

Utility statement (sometimes called "metered services consumption report") is a document sent between trading parties, or their agents, providing consumption and where required associated technical information at a location for a product or service where the supply is recorded using a meter.

It is used together with an invoice, but sent as a separate document.
