A Response to the Industry Landscape
In today’s highly competitive and unpredictable utility market, whether you are a regulated or non-regulated company - it is in your best interest to be competitive.
In non-regulated environments, utilities are constantly looking for ways to make their product more cost effective and more attractive to the end user. They are searching for ways to increase their efficiency and raise the level of return to their stakeholders. The DVM system eliminates and/or streamlines many expensive internal processes that can easily tax a company’s budget.
In regulated regions, utilities have been faced with endless guidelines and restrictions that force them to provide their product at the highest level of efficiency and lowest cost possible. More recently, regulatory bodies have began to mandate the implementation of an AMR system to further increase efficiency and allow the customer to better monitor their usage. With DVM the utility can not only meet these requirements, but will be able to focus more on customer service and internal logistics issues that will allow them to far exceed these guidelines.
The Dynamic Virtual Metering model addresses and solves many of the primary concerns inherent to utility data collection. It provides a near real time, rich data resource that can be used in countless ways, both directly and passively with benefits spanning the metering department, customer service, distribution, generation, regulatory compliance, accounting and billing to name a few.
