Power engineers of Ulyanovsk Distribution Grids Branch of Rosseti Volga, PJSC, continue implementing the program to equip smart metering devices for electricity in the Ulyanovsk region. Since the beginning of the year, power engineers have already installed more than 3 thousand meters.

The installed metering devices independently transmit data on the consumed electricity to the power company. The consumer will only have to pay the invoice on time. The device itself and its installation will be completely free for the consumer.

Installation of automated metering devices will be carried out as the existing devices fail or when the next verification is due. Installation of new generation meters allows power engineers to remotely detect cases of unauthorized electricity consumption. Illegal consumers have no possibility of tampering with metering device or the power supply scheme to reduce the meter flow of power consumed.

Modernization of electricity metering systems and power grid equipment is an important component of digital transformation. With its help, the Branch successfully solves the tasks of reducing the level of commercial losses, increasing the efficiency of the grid complex, improving the quality and reliability of power supply to consumers. To date, power engineers have already installed more than 58 thousand meters with the possibility of automated polling.
