Pakistan is swamped with energy crises and it hasn t been able to meet the energy requirement of the general public for many years. y Current shortage of electricity in Pakistan
y More than 5300 MW

y High growth in demand

side y Slow or no development work in supply side y High variability in the usage of energy y Electricity theft
y Reportedly more than 80

Billion per annum

Pakistan needs to actively engage in looking for means to encourage a more rational use of energy.
y An infrastructure to provide

detailed information electricity usage to both consumers and suppliers

In demand-side, consumers can adjust the usage behavior to meet the pre-set target y In supply-side, more reliable and secure as the it can better predict the demand and set the prices accordingly.
y

y Smart Metering: It generally involves the installation of a

smart meter at a residential/ industrial customer and the regular reading, processing and feed-back of consumption data to those customers.

y A smart meter is a modern,

innovative electronic device capable of offering consumers, suppliers, distribution network, operators, generators and regulators a wide-range of useful information, enabling the introduction of new energy services.

y AMR ( Automated meter reading) y AMI (Advanced metering

infrastructure) y Real time, two way communication

y Functions of Smart Meters: y real-time or near-time registration

of electricity use y offering the possibility to read the meter both locally and remotely (on demand); y remote limitation of the throughput through the meter (in the extreme case cutting of the electricity to the customer) y ability to read other, on-premise or nearby commodity meters (e.g., gas, water)

Technologically, there are no obstacles for the introduction/ rollout of the smart meters.
y The Italian case y More than 30 million smart meters of residential customers y Current projects around the

world. y A logical successor of the mechanical electricity meter

y

Like type-writer and dialphone are replaced with digital equipment

y Benefit # 1

It will allow the consumers to manage their electricity consumption more efficiently if given the timebased rates
High degree of variability in the consumption in different seasons y Adjust behavior by consuming less in peak periods and only necessary amount in the off-peak periods
y

y It will increase the privacy of the consumers and reduce the

operational cost of utility by eliminating the on-site visits by the utility to check the meter readings
y Smart meters can report the

readings in remote areas y Bill can be charged without site visits y Privacy to the customers y Reduction in operational cost

y Smart meters cannot be tampered and provide an accurate

and actual consumption overview of their region; hence could easily detect any kind of fraud or theft.
y Mechanical meters
y y

Tampered easily Reversed or slowed down

y Smart meters
y y

Cannot be tampered Provide detailed information, hence making it easier to detect fraud.

y It will reduce per-capita carbon footprint that energy

customers around the world are striving towards.

y Smart meters measures the

carbon emission due to the usage of electricity y Environment-friendly people can make an informed decision about their carbon footprint y A positive measure against global warming

y It will allow the utility provider to better forecast the

demand with the real-time detailed information and thus set the prices accordingly suppliers of Pakistan
y Better forecast the energy

y A latitude for power

demand y Charge customized right

y Smart meters enable utility providers to cut-off the

energy supply of the defaulters without having made a site-visit.

y Power Cut-off of defaulters

with out any fuss created by defaulters

y It will allow rapid outage detection and

restoration of service
y Detection and restoration
y Guessing game y Supplier relies on the

customer call about how large and where the outage has occurred.

y It will allow the consumers to make informed decisions

when provided with detailed and accurate real-time information about their consumption behavior.
y Past records of electricity

consumption y Notify the consumers through a text message when the energy consumption exceeds the target amount
y

Allowing the consumers to adjust their consumption behavior accordingly

y It will reduce the need of more and more energy plants to

meet the growing energy consumption demand as it will lower the consumption demand of electricity.
y Building power plant to meet

occasional peak period demand is very expensive.

y

Allows the consumers to round off the peaks

y Increased demand side

management
y

By enabling consumers to modify their behaviors.

y Labor Reduction y Cost reduction in call center y Billing and Collection y Disconnection of defaulters y Process Improvement y Reduced Energy Theft y Increased billing accuracy y Tighter billing and collection y Infrastructure Improvement y More Accurate digital meter y Reduce future replacement budget

Canada
Ontario Energy Board 4.3 million smart meters covering all the customer base United Kingdom
UK s Department of Energy and Climate Change Intention of installing smart meters all around UK by 2020.

United States
On July 20, 2006, The Northern California Territory of Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) a program to install 9 million smart meters for the measurement of consumption of gas and electricity California has a summer peak of demand of power during 50 to 100 hours per year

Italy
The world largest smart meters deployment took place in Italy by Enel achieved the target of deploying smart meters to its entire customer base ( 27 million) between 2001 and 2005.

Australia
In 2006, the Essential Service Commission (ESC) of Victoria, Australia In 2013 about one million smart meters should be installed.

Netherland
In Netherland, starting from 2008, all residential customers will be provided a smart energy meter. The proposed time frame for the whole project is 6 years.

y The energy sector of Pakistan is in no position to incur

losses at this troubled stage.

y More than 80 billion rupees loss per annum y More than 400 consumers, in Karachi alone, don t pay

their electricity bill

y Most Outages occur due to overloads caused by local

pilfering of the systems. Tahir Basharat Cheema (Managing director PEPCO)

y With smart meters

y Electricity theft from 10% to 3 % saving more than 30

billion rupees per annum.
