Smart meters. If you agree to have a smart meter installed, we will arrange a convenient appointment for the installation. If we or our agent are not let into your property for the appointment, we may charge you the costs of that visit, unless you gave us at least 48 hours' notice of cancellation. If you had a smart meter installed by your previous supplier we will treat it as a traditional credit meter until such time as we notify you that we are able to utilise its smart functionality. If the smart meter is operating in prepayment mode and you wish to continue on a prepayment tariff then we may replace your smart prepayment meter with a traditional prepayment meter.

Smart meters. Single phase whole current Smart Meters shall comply with technical specifications as provided in Annexure – A, three phase whole current Single Smart Meters shall comply with technical specifications as provided in Annexure – B, three phase CT operated smart meters shall comply with technical specifications as provided in Annexure – C. The AMISP has to furnish valid BIS certification before the supply of meters.
e. 1 Phase or 3 Phase shall be updated in the system. The information would also be updated on the consumer portal and app for providing information to consumers. Reference, the Smart Meter communication, it is envisaged that plug and play type communication modules shall be deployed in the smart meter, for any given communication technology. These modules shall be field- deployable, with corresponding communication interface modules being used in the DCU/Gateway or BTS of wide area network in accordance with the details provided in Annexure E. The Network Interface Card (NIC) / Communication Module should be integrated with at least 3 (three) makes of meters in India to enable the respective meters to seamlessly integrate with proposed HES and/or MDM thus enabling interoperability of the system. In future, it would be AMISP’s responsibility to integrate new meter in consultation with [Utility] or facilitate integration of other application as per the approach paper submitted under the Project Implementation Plan.

Smart meters. The use of smart meters for the assessment of electricity consumption is essential as it affect the volume of non-technical losses in mainly 2 ways:
1) it help to reduce metering errors and to have more accurate measurement of electricity consumption. Therefore, the estimation/calculation of non-technical losses will be more exact.
2) Real time reading of energy consumption and an establishment of dynamic tariffs might help to reduce the gap between peak demand and the available power at any given time Basically, a higher penetration rate of smart meters has several advantages. They allow to collect real-time consumption readings, to control the volume of electricity delivered and to detect non- technical losses.
Smart meters. As a smart meter based energy retailer, we expect to get ongoing automated remote meter reads from the meter or meters at your premises. Should, for any reason, your meter stop communicating at any time, we may - as an interim measure - charge you based on an estimate of the amount of electricity supplied or arrange for a meter reader to visit your premises to read the meter. If the meter is faulty we will instruct the meter services provider to attend to the faulty meter. However, should the meter services provider fail to fix the fault within a reasonable time or communication with your meter remains impeded, we may transfer your account to a retailer that provides manual meter reads as a service. You must notify us immediately if you become aware that the meter or related equipment is damaged or appears unsafe. If there is reason to believe your meter is faulty, we may arrange to test the meter at your premises, or to remove it for testing elsewhere. We will advise you of the results. If there is an inherent fault with the meter we will repair or replace the meter at our or the meter equipment provider’s cost. In all other instances, we may charge you for the costs related to testing, repairing and/or replacing the meter. We will inform you of the costs prior to undertaking any work on the meter. You must take all reasonable steps to ensure that no one tampers with the meter or related equipment. The theft of electricity is a criminal offence. You will be responsible for paying for the electricity we estimate you would have used if we determine the meter or related equipment was tampered with. You will have to pay for all costs and loss or damage incurred if our investigations determine that you caused or allowed someone to cause loss or damage to us, the network company or the meter services provider. We may disconnect the supply of electricity to your premises and pursue legal action against you. You agree that we own all information and data collected by the meter, including meter reading data. We may receive, collect and store meter data relating to you and your premises. To the extent any such meter information and data is personal information we will ensure that such information is held by us in accordance with the Privacy Act 1993 and used in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We or the network company may temporarily suspend electricity supply to some of your equipment (e.g. hot water cylinder) if your metering configuration and pricing plan al...

Smart meters. Smart meters enable various actors of the electricity chain getting information about production and consumption at each grid connection point. They help the final consumer which can also be a small producer to be aware of its consumption/production patterns, they allow suppliers (often the consumer’s BRP) to schedule the planned consumption more accurately and they provide the DSO with a better overview of the production and demand and to detect grid faults. TSOs also have an interest in being forwarded the aggregated data from smart meters. As mentioned in section 2.2, smart metering is an essential enabler of DR. This is especially true in the case of aggregated DR. Indeed, to offer flexibility services of a reasonable size, aggregators can mobilise a large pool of small-sized flexibility resources and each needs to be equipped with a smart meter. Since 2006, a growing body of legal provisions on the deployment of smart meters in the EU has been adopted [93]. In the 2009 E-Directive, a target for the deployment of smart meters was set to EU MSs. They had to conduct by September 2012 a cost-benefit assessment of the deployment of “intelligent metering systems” in their countries. If positive, then at least 80% of the consumers had to be equipped with a smart meter by 2020 [94]. Despite this target, a 2020 report for the European Commission has shown that as of 2018, only “34% of all electricity metering points were equipped with a smart meter” in the EU-28 [95]. The authors estimate that the threshold of 80% of the connected customers equipped with a smart meter in the EU will not be reached before 2024 at least, possibly later [96]. This report as well as another more recent report show that the level of deployment varies strongly between countries, with some having reached 100% long ago and others only starting [97]. Such difference in deployment should be overcome as smart meters are an important means to facilitate the energy transition at the least possible cost, it is therefore crucial to follow up on the rapid deployment of smart meters that are compatible with the access rules of the flexibility markets. The 2019 E-Directive maintains a focus on smart meters, although the relevant provision was slightly altered [98]. Moreover, the 2019 E-Directive now also regulates the deployment of smart meters [99]. First, the directive defines a “smart metering system” as: an electronic system that is capable of measuring electricity fed into the grid or elec...
