# How often do I need to submit my meter reading?

We need your meter reading, the so-called Zählerstand, **only 1-2x a year**. The first at the start of delivery, the second when we issue the annual invoice.

If you want a better overview of your consumption, **feel free to report your meter reading more often**. This is all done easily through the **[Ostrom app](https://ostrommobile.page.link/home-meter-readings)**!
