BSES to install 50 lakh smart meters in city
In a mega project, BSES power discoms in Delhi will install 50 lakh smart meters with a capital outlay of Rs 4,000 crore. It will help consumers make informed decisions on how to optimise electricity consumption and reduce bills, and it will also give alerts on faults and outages.
According to officials, the BSES discoms- BRPL and BYPL- have begun the process to replace the existing electricity meters with smart versions. The discoms have issued tenders for supply (and contract maintenance) of five million smart meters.
“BSES’ rollout is a first-of-its-kind prestigious smart-meter programme on many fronts.
Almost five million smart meters will be deployed in a single location utility, making it one of the largest such exercises anywhere in the country, including any metro city,” an official said.
