- Electricity Management System • To implement the “State of the Art” services management system to the local councils allowing them to: • efficiently collect all amounts due to them • ensure that the user pays • avoid damage and costly disconnection and reconnections • One system can be installed for both water and electricity, although they operate independently • Implementation is quick and efficient allowing maximum profits to accrue to the councils
- Electricity Management System • An electricity time-of-use system is linked to a local then regional digital switching system, utilising GSM and RF technology • This switching mechanism can then be disconnected or reconnected using a call centre. • The system is effective for both pre-paid and metered systems • The next slide will illustrate the exact method utilised

- Electricity Management System • Competitors • This product will work in conjunction with all existing role- • players meters to everyone’s mutual advantage • Strengths • Cost savings to the consumer of up to 20%. • Cost savings to the council by more effective administration, collection and savings on infrastructure compared to existing systems. • Remote control of total system without having to visit the households or meters.
- Electricity Management System continued • Non payment management allowing automatic termination of services if account is not paid, plus remote reconnection. • Network supply control based on water demand balancing using location and engineering mapping to authorise time and quantity of supply dependant on regional requirements. • Weaknesses of the system • Lack of positive competition
- Electricity Management System • New GSM / RF technology being used • most cost effective method of monitoring • In line with new world leading technology • allows unlimited reporting and efficient management of users • The system allows the following: • Remote reading and communication • Remote activation and disconnection without personnel being “on-site” • Ability to maximise TIME OF USE • Eliminate fraudulent use of services
- Electricity Management System • DIGIPOWER are now ready to deliver product to the market against confirmed orders. • Detail of quantities are required with detailed roll out timings. • Cost of product is cheaper than conventional and or competitive systems, details upon request based on specific needs. • Simple installation, municipal workers with minimum training can install.

- Electricity Management System • BILLING • - To provide monthly meter readings in compatible electronic format to Billing Authorities • EXCEPTIONAL REPORTING • - To Local Authorities for management of supply systems
- Electricity Management System • CURRENT SYSTEM • - Physical meter readings on 1 to 3 monthly basis • Interpolation in interim months provides for inaccuracies • Inconsistent and unreliable exception reporting • DEFICIENCIES • Errors through inaccurate physical meter readings • Inaccessibility of meters • Ondue long response time in assessing inadequate meter readings
- Electricity Management System • RESULTS • Inadequate control over losses • Lack of faith in meter readings • Loss of income
- Electricity Management System • REDUCTION OF MANAGEMENT LOSSES • Electricity (Low income): 40% to 10% • (High income): 15% to 8% • (Industrial) : 8% to 5% • Water (General) : 25% to 10% • IMPROVED INCOME • IMPROVED CONTROL • Increase in faith by public of meter reading • Improved response time to problems
