Smart Gas Meters to Help NIGC Minimize Losses

The annual volume of natural gas loss in Iran's national grid caused by gas meter fraud is close to 2 billion cubic meters that can be easily avoided by replacing traditional meters with smart counterparts, the manager of a plan to develop IT infrastructure to install smart gas meters said.
“The massive loss is not only due to human error in reading the meters but also caused by falsification of gas meters so that they do not record the actual amount of gas consumed,” Mehdi Arabzadeh Yekta was also quoted as saying by ISNA.
The National Iranian Gas Company has launched a “smart gas meter” project in collaboration with the second largest mobile operator MTN-Irancell, FANAP ICT Company, affiliated to Bank Pasargad, Ekbatan Gas Control Company and Khatam University in Tehran, he added.
