Energy Efficiency Services Ltd. (EESL), under the Ministry of Power is seeking 50 lakh smart meters to reduce Aggregate Technical and Commercial losses, power theft and monitor of round the clock power supply.

The aim is to create greater efficiency and 24X7 power for all.

A Pre-Bid Meeting was held by EESL on 22nd August 2017 for procurement meters with about 100 manufacturers, system integrators, World Bank and telecom operators.

EESL will be making the entire upfront investment as well as maintain the whole infrastructure for the next 10 years.

The meters are for implementation of smart grid projects in the states of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.

EESL has unbundled the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) project into two parts viz. procurement of smart meter and arranging the system integrator.

EESL is also planning to issue the tender for selection of system integrator early next month, as second part of the AMI project. fii-news.com
