CWG Plc, as part of efforts to address power challenges in Nigeria, initiated and designed a ‘Smart Metering Solution’, which works in the form of a connected mobile app for electricity consumers both the Maximum Demand Customers (MDCs) and the Non-maximum Demand Customers (NDCs).
The solution, according to CWG is part of a larger plan for the company’s smart utilities platform that is keyed into government’s smart initiatives, noting that the solution makes it possible for the power distribution companies to detect power theft, monitor and measure usage for improved power efficiencies.
The solution is designed in such a way that it alerts the power companies with the precise location where the theft is occurring in near real time, not more than three minutes after it happens, without requiring large technology equipment or complex and expensive algorithms to decipher them.
This is another innovation out of the stables of the technology integration company.
