Power distribution co in MP preserves electricity meters of generations

While the advent of technology has changed the face of electricity meters, a government power distribution company in Indore has preserved these devices of different generations.

The unique collection, which gives a glimpse of the transformation of electricity meters, includes electromechanical induction meters used nearly six-and-a-half decades ago as well as “smart” digital meters being installed these days in the houses of consumers.

Madhya Pradesh Western Zone Power Distribution Company’s Public Relations Officer Awadhesh Sharma told PTI on Monday that around 20 electricity meters of different generations have been kept preserved at a laboratory of the company’s headquarters in Polo Ground area of the city.
