Current Utility Metering Problems

The current metering system for electricity, water and gas is problematic for utility companies with unknown quantities of resources being unbilled and lost:

  • Inaccuracy of manual meter readings due to “human error”
  • Inefficient customer service and high number of customer complaints
  • Inability to forecast demand or forward network planning
  • Cannot identify leaks throughout the utility network
  • Inability to monitor any unusual spikes in usage  
  • Money is lost when more resources are delivered than utility companies are able to bill for
  • Inability to pinpoint the source of the technical or non-technical losses
