Currentcost themselves will supply the lead if you don't want to make
one up yourself.  There are details somewhere on a web page.  I think it
costs just over £11.  I can possibly find the details if you don't
mind
waiting until I get back from my holiday.

The other thing worth noting is that there are two versions of the
currentcost meter.  One doesn't supply historic data in the XML packet,
the other does.  My southern electric one doesn't, but I haven't been
able to find one that does.  Possibly the E.ON ones do, given that they
seem to go on ebay for far more than the SE versions.
