The Future Of Electricity Metering

Recent hike in electricity tariff in Nigeria has again brought to the fore the issue of reliable metering system to cater to the mammoth customer base of Discos in Nigeria. At the announcement and implementation of the new tariff regime, Nigerians, in their native reactive response, resisted the increase with vengeance. Protests were held in all states of the federation and there were showdowns by labour organisation and civil societies to show people's displeasure with the new tariff system.

Believe me I know Nigerians did not resist the increment because they felt it was outrightly bad. No. They were only irked by the fact that there has not been commitment on the part of the Discos to distribute meters that would allow each consumer of their electricity know the quantity of energy they consume. Nigerians reacted to the increase because majority of the Discos use estimated billing to charge for electricity consumption. This has resulted in outrageous bills and unsatisfied customers who believes the Discos are out to rip them off and therefore are not willing to pay. This anemic situation has been the bane of Nigerian energy sector and it has come to change.

Now I read the Discos are set to distribute smart meters to their residential customers. You know the prepaid meters proudly made in Naija. Very good. But what about maximum demand users like corporate set ups, hotels, factories and industries whose energy consumption is on hyper level. What will meter their energy usage. 

This is where efergy E2 Classic comes in. This ultra smart energy monitors uses AMI to capture real time energy data and also has inbuilt memory to retain data captured over a period of time. It has a USB port that users can connect to their PCs and download energy data for better analysis, reported on a free hosted software with impeccable interface. It is the answer all Discos have been waiting for to create honesty and transparency in their relationship with their customers. It is the future of electricity metering because studies have shown we use energy efficiently when we can measure and analyse it.
