Digital Electricity Meters For Kordestan Agro Sector

An estimated 4,500 energy-intensive agricultural units and households have been equipped with smart electricity meters (known as Faham in Persian) in the mountainous province of Kordestan, head of the provincial power company said.
"The agriculture sector accounts for 50% of the installed digital meters as it is a priority," Hiva Lahvenian was quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry news portal on Monday.
Of the 4,500 hi-tech devices, about 3,000 have been installed in the last four months and 2,250 agricultural wells are being equipped with the gadgets in the region.
Most wells are equipped with the new system, helping utilities efficiently monitor water use, he said, noting that the advanced meters are being promoted for economic and environmental reasons, namely to cut costs and consumption.
