ELLIGENCE
WHERE IT’S MOST NEEDED
Optimum day-to-day energy management demands near real-time infor-
mation. Smart metering provides exact, on-time information on energy
usage and power quality at the point of consumption. It extends informa-
tion availability beyond the substations to the level where energy is con-
sumed. This final section of the network is where micro-generation and
demand-side initiatives will take place as smart grids develop – and this is
where smart metering enables the most important part of the value chain:
the gathering of local intellingence.
