Electricity
Electricity is the biggest area of growth in the energy sector, and smart metering the biggest issue in this sector. Electricity consumption in Australia has been growing at nearly double the rate of energy use overall, and smart meters are set to transform the way consumers manage their electricity use.
In the electricity industry’s headlong rush to smart metering, utilities are still very focused on the reality of efficiently collecting metering data right here and right now. Given growing controversy over smart metering in areas like Victoria, the status quo of meter data collection may remain for longer than anticipated.
Since 1999, DataCol has been providing contracted meter reading services to the electricity sector with customers including Contact Energy, Genesis Energy, Mercury Energy, Meridian Energy, Energy Online, Trustpower and Powershop . It is now making available its SevenX meter reading management software to the electricity sector.
If you need to make the most of now while preparing for the transition to smart metering, and you can’t afford to rely on old, inflexible, proprietary technology to do it. Find out more about SevenX for electricity.
