Analysis and perspective on smart metering, grid intelligence and the business of running a modern utility.

Electricity, gas and water are converging on one metering platform.
A handful of utilities are now running electric, gas and water meters through the same AMI programme. The head-end and data systems underneath them are not always ready for that.
Read articleInstalled is not the same as integrated.
Rollout dashboards count meters in the ground. They rarely count whether the data those meters produce ever reaches a billing system intact, and that gap is where AMI programmes quietly lose their return.

Regulators across Asia are speeding up bidirectional metering and rewriting settlement rules for rooftop solar, and the meter now has to keep up with tariff logic, not just consumption.

Meter counts make headlines, but pole collectors, powerline carriers and head-end systems are the infrastructure that actually moves the data. Utilities that treat the network as an afterthought pay for it later.

From Brussels to Berlin to London, the target date for full smart metering coverage keeps shifting. Utilities that have built their AMI strategy around architecture rather than a calendar are the ones absorbing the changes without cost.
3 min readThe smart metering business is quietly becoming a software business.
As installation counts approach saturation, utilities and vendors are shifting attention to the head-end and meter-data platforms that decide whether all those meters actually pay for themselves.
