why can we not charge them monthly rental on their metering equipment.

the utility companies in the UK continue to make massive profits and continue to increase energy charges.
they make all sorts of reasons for price increases and they cry pain if their profits drop slightly over a quarter period, and yet their yearly profits always seem to rise.
even when they make healthy profit they still lay off employees
when will government realise that profits and satisfying greedy shareholders is not the way to provide essential necessary services to householders,and businesses, or create stable long term employment for people.

psalm 49 comes to mind
