New meters to come up in city by March 2025; will give consumers outage alerts
The BSES discoms have issued tenders to replace their 50 lakh existing electricity meters in Delhi with smart meters at a capital outlay of up to ₹4,000 crore.
A BSES spokesperson described it as “the fastest and largest” private sector smart meter installation project in the country.
Detailing the benefits of the smart meters, the spokesperson said that through the installation of smart meters, several value-added services will be offered to the consumers.
For instance, a consumer could monitor and analyse their power consumption through data fed by the new meters.
The BSES spokesperson added that upon the installation of the smart meters, the consumers will also get alerts in cases of power outages.
At the same time, the discoms could offer energy-saving tips to group housing societies.
“While there are no drawbacks in the existing electricity meter, its potential is limited when compared to a smart meter,” said a BSES spokesperson.
