The read at the top here seems to have slipped though nPower’s proofreading net:
No link: page accessible only via login
However, similar usage on other pages shows that it isn’t a typographical error at all:
While read exists as a noun, it is not a synonym of reading when used in this context. OED even has a special section under meter relating to reading meters, in which the term read does not feature as a viable alternative:
‘meter-reading n. the reading of a meter or meters; an instance of this; (also) a reading displayed on or recorded by a meter.’
