Siemens partners with Tata Power to deploy new smart meters

Siemens Limited and Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited have deployed smart metering technology for over 200,000 smart meters in North Delhi, India.

The EnergyIP Meter Data Management System installed and commissioned by Siemens enables timely and accurate collection of electricity meter data. This leads to increased visibility of the consumer network and reduction in carbon emissions. This program is one of Tata Power-DDL’s key strategic initiatives for the modernization of the grid.

“In partnership with Siemens, we have further strengthened the energy distribution network in our area of operation by leveraging the state-of-the-art technologies. The digital technologies have enabled us to monitor critical functions of energy distribution in real-time, resulting in higher operational efficiency and productivity, and have proven invaluable during the COVID-19 pandemic. The technologies will further help in ensuring more efficient and uninterrupted power supply for our consumers,” Ganesh Srinivasan, CEO of Tata Power-DDL, said.

This initiative will help the consumers better manage their energy usage while providing them with outage alerts.

“Tata Power-DDL has been one of the pioneers in the adoption of innovative digital solutions. We take great pride in partnering with them in the digitalization of the energy distribution networks. Our aim is to empower our customers to master their digital transformation and sustainability challenges with our technologies. The implementation of Advanced Metering Infrastructure is aligned to the Smart Meter National Program and will play a key role in the deployment of Smart Grids across the country,” Robert HK Demann, head, Smart Infrastructure, Siemens Limited, said.
