Smart Meter Initiative on Track 

To complete the second phase of the National Smart Metering Program, a contract has been signed between government-affiliated Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company (Tavanir) and SATKAB, a subsidiary of the Energy Ministry, which is in making progress, the head of Tavanir said.
“As per the agreement, SATKAB is obliged to produce and install 4.5 million smart meters in the agro, industrial, commercial and household sectors in the next two years with priority accorded to high-consuming subscribers,” Arash Kordi was also quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry’s news service.
Equipping energy-intensive agricultural, housing and commercial units will enable Tavanir to monitor consumption remotely and if necessary, the company will be able to cut electricity supply remotely, he added.
