Managed Services for Metering and Tenant Billing

Smart meters provide the ability to remotely monitor and transfer energy consumption and power quality information in real time. They are a key component of an end-to-end digital, two-way intelligent communications infrastructure that will enables utilities to enhance electricity generation and distribution, reduce peak consumption by shifting demand loads and, boost efficiency through improved diagnostics. The end result is the ability to serve more customers with less energy supply.

Smart meters encourage consumers to conserve energy by helping them maintain the quantity and cost of their energy consumption. Deployment of smart meters will result in energy savings of 10-15%. The availability of real time energy consumption information allows utilities to manage the distribution network more efficiently and reduce operating expenses. Savings are realized through eliminating field service calls for routine maintenance activities, improving forecasting and smoothing power consumption, improving customer service through profiling and segmentation, reducing energy theft, and simplifying micro-generation monitoring/management. For end customers, smart metering provides energy savings, reduced carbon emissions and improved service reliability and customer service responsiveness.
