Basically Smart Meters measure the electricity, water, and gas consumption and communicate this to the central utility system. The installations of these devices in the residential sector helps in reducing CO2 emissions globally as the consumer�s inclination towards peak time savings of energy would increase. The increasing residential construction activities and government mandates such as the European Union 20-20-20 policy, which aims to convert 80% of the installed meter base to smart one, have ensured the growth in the demand for smart meters.
For example: pre-paid energy meter entails not only an automated technological upgrade in meter readings, but also a tracking device in the meter through which a consumer can track his actual consumption without the need for any manual recording of the meter readings as practiced earlier. Also, officials from power department can track actual consumption of consumers via their online subscriptions and readings as per the tracking device.
These include AMPE l (domestic), AMPE ll (commercial), AMPE lV (institutional) and AMPE lX (temporary) of maximum 25 kw each.
Priced at Rs 6250/- for single phase meter and Rs 11652/- for three phase meter, an additional cost of Rs 500-600 (for single phase) and around Rs 4000 (for three phase) will be charged for installation, system loading, service connection and processing dues of the meters.
Apart from this, these meters will charge 1.25% less tariff from the prevailing tariff for respective categories. Current prevailing tariff includes fixed charge of Rs 90 per kw for domestic consumers. Along with this, the charges vary from - up to 150 units per month - Rs 4.40 p, from 151 to 300 units per month charges include Rs 4.95p, from 301 to 500 units per month Rs 5.60p will be charged and beyond 500 units per month flat Rs 6.20p will be charged.
