Installation of Smart Meters in Fast Lane

Over 1 million smart meters have been installed across Iran for high-consuming subscribers and the installation program is progressing, a spokesperson for Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company (Tavanir) said.
“The scheme is part of a plan to install 4.5 million smart meters with priority accorded to high-consuming subscribers,” Mostafa Rajabi-Mashhadi was also quoted as saying by ILNA.
Of the total number [1 million], around 700,000 were installed in the agro and industrial sectors. Households and commercial centers accounted for the rest [300,000], he added.
The farming sector with about 700,000 electricity meters consume about 50% of Iran’s power generation at about 60,000 megawatts per day.
