MEW CONTINUES TO INSTALL SMART METERS IN NEW PRIVATE HOME DEVELOPMENTS

  • 17/04/2022

Kuwait City: The Ministry of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy reported that it has installed 102,000 smart metres to date, and that work is underway to install these metres in private houses in new locations beginning next Sunday. According to ministry sources, the Smart metres will give greater flexibility for the ministry, particularly for customer billing departments, in addition to collecting the ministry's dues and preventing the accumulation that occurred in the past when the old metres were in use. Furthermore, smart metres make it easier to pay for electricity use in a variety of ways, including through the ministry's website, consumer affairs offices, and other channels. 


According to sources, the Smart metre system will eliminate many of the negatives that occurred in the past due to human intervention or human error, because Smart metres are read electronically, in addition to identifying malfunction in the metre, if any, or tampering with it, as it sends a signal to the system and a specialised team will go to the site of the metre to determine the cause of the malfunction. The ministry had begun installing Smart meters in the investment and commercial sectors in the Farwaniya and Hawalli governorates, as part of a plan to replace all mechanical meters in the country with Smart meters, and had stressed the importance of these meters in digital transformation, and improving the quality and efficiency of services provided to the public, in accordance with the development plans adopted by the state.
