UED is rolling out its AMI project, which will see 650,000 homes and businesses in Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula receive a new smart meter to help manage electricity consumption.
Customers will be connected to a ‘smart’ metering network which will allow them to better monitor and manage their energy use in order to help tackle climate change.
Customers will also benefit from faster and more convenient electricity connection services and the removal of manual and estimated meter reading services, which will be replaced by more timely, accurate and detailed automated meter readings, improving customer service.
As at 30 June 2011 approximately 140,000 smart meters had been installed and were operational.
