This obligation may, where a Member State so provides, save in the case of sub-metered consumption based on heat cost allocators under Article 9b, be fulfilled by a system of regular self-reading by the final customer or final user whereby they communicate readings from their meter.
I gcás ina bhforálann Ballstát dá leithéid, seachas i gcás tomhaltas fomhéadraithe bunaithe ar leithdháileoirí costais teasa faoi Airteagal 9b, féadfar an oibleagáid sin a chomhlíonadh trí chóras féinléimh rialta ina gcuirfidh an custaiméir deiridh nó an t-úsáideoir deiridh léamha óna méadar in iúl don soláthróir fuinnimh.
