The first advanced metering project in Switzerland will see Echelon’s Networked Energy Services (NES) System installed in 5000 homes over the next 3-5 years.
The Swiss utility EV Energieversorgung Biberist awarded the contract for the smart metering system to Echelon’s partner GÖRLITZ Schweiz.
The NES system consists of highly integrated, advanced digital electricity meters that can be access online via an IP networking infrastructure.
“With nearly 3.7 million electricity meters and 850 grid operators, we see a significant opportunity in the Swiss market,” says GÖRLITZ Schweiz CEO Ingo Schmitt.
Meanwhile, in the US, Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP) has selected the SmartSynch/AT&T’s SmartMeter technology for a 10,000 until trial with residential customers in Texas.
The trial will see TNMP monitor customer usage data every 15 minutes to provide better demand response and energy efficiency, as well as allowing customers to monitor and regulate their own consumption.
