Jinan city will add 260,000 smart meter users in 2011

On the 11th, the reporter learned that the power company's smart meter replacement operations will continue to be promoted. By the end of 2010, the city had 180,000 power users put on smart meters. It is expected that Linyi will add 260,000 new users in 2011.

According to the introduction of the staff of the marketing department of the city power supply company, the new smart meter has the functions of energy metering, information storage and processing, and real-time monitoring, and can instantly learn customer power consumption information. The smart meter can automatically collect and copy the electricity meter at a fixed point every day through the back-end system and timely calculate the electricity fee, which greatly improves the timeliness and accuracy of the meter reading data, and provides powerful support for the user's electricity charge quantity inquiry and flexible payment. In addition, smart meters through real-time monitoring of the main station system can timely monitor the city's electricity load to ensure the safety and stability of the grid.

“Smart meters provide a lot of room for convenience, and their functions are still expanding. In the future, there will be new breakthroughs in long-distance power transmission and instant recharging,” said the person in charge of measuring the marketing department. As of the end of 2010, 180,000 users in the city had installed smart meters. It is expected that another 260,000 residents will use smart meters in 2011.
