Newmoney Information wants DEDDIE to complete the large tender, as well as the contracting process for the supply of smart meters, within the first half of 2024.

This results from a tender announced by the Program Manager yesterday with the aim of “providing consulting services to support planning, organisation, operational readiness and implementation”.Smart meter installation and integration plan In daily operations.

As stated in the detailed announcement, “In accordance with the Grid Development Plan 2019-2023 and in compliance with European Directive 2019/944 on the internal electricity market, DEDDIE aims to scale up the installation nationwide and include it in its operational operation of modern networks. HT energy electronic meters (smart meters) with Parallel dismantling of existing metering devices for HT customers of the distribution network and more specifically, Didi It expects to integrate into the telemetry system more than 7 million KT customers by 2030Achieving 100% coverage with a maximum number of installations exceeding 1 million.”

It was also confirmed that smart meters are part of an integrated system for smart meters, which also includes data collection and management systems and a communications network for communication between meters and systems, with their design in line with the latest standards.Information security and data protection.

“As is clear, such an investment has multiple benefits for consumers, the electricity market and DEDDIE itself. In particular, the estimated net benefit of the project is expected to be achieved for the period 2021-2045To exceed 4 billion euros» Usually mentioned.
