An solid-state electricity meter includes an electronic measuring unit with an analog/digital converter which receives signals from amplifiers for various measurement ranges, and a control section with a microcomputer wherein the meter signal is processed, taking into account correction factors for the various elements of the circuit. Each correction factor is a single value for each respective measurement range, and the correction factors for each range are contained in corresponding meter-characteristic quantities which are stored in the electricity meter. Each meter-characteristic quantity represents a measurement value corresponding to a specific quantity of energy. Only a few (e.g., only 4) meter-characteristic quantities need be stored in the electricity meter. These meter-characteristic quantitites can be determined in a conventional calibration procedure, and they enable all the fixed errors of the signal processing to be compensated.
