KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 30 (Bernama) -- Trilliant and its partner Manx Utilities, are progressing with the first phase of the roll-out of Smart Electricity Meters for 8,000 prepayment customers across the Isle of Man.
A leading international provider of solutions for advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), smart grid, smart cities and IIoT, Trilliant has also launched similar island deployments in Aruba, Malaysia and the Dominican Republic.
According to a statement, this partnership enables smart capabilities for the Island by replacing their existing electricity meters with a new AMI platform.
It will provide connectivity for nearly 50,000 residential, industrial, and commercial customers with expansion options available to enable additional smart grid technologies in the future such as smart street lighting.
The infrastructure upgrades have begun with 8,000 prepayment customers, whose legacy ‘key’ electricity meters are being replaced with smart meters. The meters operate on a ‘pay as you go’ system that customers can access using Manx Utilities’ SmarterLiving app.
In the app, prepayment customers can see updates on their energy usage and top up their credit, allowing them to gain greater visibility and understanding of their electricity consumption, which could help them to save on energy costs.
The smart meters will notify Manx Utilities about power outages and energy use patterns. The electricity provider will be able to reduce waste by fine-tuning energy production based on insights from the smart electricity system.
Following the priority roll-out of smart meters to Manx Utilities’ prepayment customers, upgrades will start for the remaining domestic, commercial and industrial locations.
