1 Million Smart Meters for Three Key Sectors

Government-affiliated Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company (Tavanir) has installed 1 million smart electricity meters in the agriculture, commercial and industrial sectors since 2018, the head of the company’s Science and Technology Department said.
“Installing each smart meter costs $50 and all subscribers in the three key sectors will be equipped with high tech devices by April,” Hadi Modaqqeq was also quoted as saying by ILNA.
Thanks to the new gadgets, consumers are informed about daily use and adjust consumption. Utilities in many developed and developing countries are promoting such meters for economic and environmental reasons, especially to reduce cost and consumption, he added.
