Smart Metering Solutions

Public Sector

Smart metering has in the last few years become increasingly adopted by water and power utilities under pressure to increase efficiency.

Smart metering comes in the form of either AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) or AMR (Automatic Meter Reading); whichever is deployed depends on project specific factors- including cost and availability of technology.

In basic terms, AMR allows one way remote meter reading, while AMI is more powerful as it is two way oriented and makes possible both meter reading and disconnection.

Key benefits of smart metering – especially AMI include:

  • Reduced customer complaints
  • Reduced fraud
  • Revenue protection
  • Improved supply and demand management
  • Improved distribution network management
  • Variable pricing structures
  • Improved data quality
  • Customer intelligence
Utility Partners works with two types of customers
  • Utilities- water and power.
  • Private sector s- such as large industrial, commercial and residential estates- who have their own supply or require a robust metering solution- even when utility supplied.

To deliver smart metering solutions in eastern Africa, Utility Partners works with a top of the class technology partner – Nuri Telecom of South Korea.
