ECG To Introduce Smart Meters

Government has hinted of a new metering system that will allow the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to communicate with the meter from their offices without having to visit where they are stationed. The new meters called the Smart meters will allow the ECG to engage disconnections and get notifications when the meter is tempered with. The smart metering will also phase out the variety of meters already in existence. The Minister of Communication, Dr Omane-Boamah disclosed this indicating this project will be executed by the Ministry of Energy in collaboration with the Communication Ministry.
