Permanent access to the current metering data for network control, supply planning and billing - this is essential for a power supplier. The Thai power supplier EGAT Public Company Limited (EGAT) uses around 600 ZMQ high-precision meters, data transmission by TCP/IP plus a Converge system, all from Landis+Gyr, to ensure this access.

Advanced Metering Infrastructure is the weapon used in the struggle against energy losses in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Previously, Ampla Energia e Serviços SA, the Brazilian distribution company supplying electricity to 66 counties in the state of Rio de Janeiro, lost 53 percent of the energy supplied due to theft. Thanks to intelligent technology, this was reduced to only 2 percent.

Rome‘s municipal energy supplier, ACEA, has chosen Landis+Gyr as technology partner for its large-scale Advanced Metering roll out. ACEA will have fully implemented the system by 2009 and will install 1.5 million new electricity meters from Landis+Gyr. This solution enables automatic meter reading (AMR), the management of loads and customers, as well as the monitoring and control of the low-voltage network.

In December 2004, Ampy Email Metering partnered with electricity utility Country Energy to launch Australia’s first advanced metering project. The project, called the “Home Energy Efficiency Trial” (HEET), is aimed at harnessing the potential for customer demand management in the residential sector.
