Intelligent metering means your bills are more accurate, and you can clearly apportion costs to profit or cost centres
Measurement is management
Intelligent metering is a method of remotely collecting meter readings and profile data from utility meters. The data is usually transmitted by GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) technology, which sends meter readings to our offices by text message. This data is used to produce your monthly invoice. Depending on what you need, you can choose from a range of data packages, including half-hourly breakdowns, delivered on a day-plus-one basis or at month end.
Benefits
Commercial and industrial users are under legislative pressure to look carefully at their consumption of gas, in the same way they do for power. Using intelligent metering gives you much greater control over your usage, helping you adhere to both current and forthcoming environmental regulation.
Beyond the legislative factors, there are huge benefits to installing intelligent meters:
• Ability to measure and manage energy
• Accurate billing – no more estimated bills
• Online data and reports of half-hourly or daily consumption use
• Improved forecasting and budget-setting
