Reduce energy costs with automated energy metering
With EQ meters, a shopping mall in South Africa was able to bill more accurately and reduce operating costs
Johannesburg, South Africa
Challenge
At the shopping mall in Gauteng, personnel had to manually read energy metrics, resulting in increased maintenance time and operating costs, as well as the risk of inaccurate metering.
Solution
ABB chose EQ Meters which enable automatic metering and also feature an internal clock as a tariffs source, alarm functions, demand profiles, and the storage of other logged data on the meters. The Excellumax system integrator enables automated meter readings and detailed historical logging.
The system can be configured remotely and is able to generate billing reports for the client, which means electricity costs can be allocated to all tenants accordingly.
Outcome
ABB’s EQ meters provided the customer with a reliable, cost-effective and sustainable solution that made billing easier and helped them to save money and avoid inaccurate metering.
