A data concentrator makes a collection from electricity meters in a powerline communication network. The electricity meters are distributed in a plurality of classes, and are ordered, in each class, according to an overall risk of collision incurred in the powerline communication network. When the data concentrator seeks to address another electricity meter to be addressed in parallel to an electricity meter currently being addressed, the data concentrator seeks to maximise the number of the electricity meters addressed in parallel, prioritising the electricity meters in a sequencing of the classes and a sequencing according to an overall risk of collision. This other electricity meter must present a risk of collision with each of the electricity meters currently being addressed below a predefined threshold.
