Bahrain: EWA to install digital power meters by June 2023
The installation of hi-tech power digital meters is expected to be complete by June 2023 as planned, said Electricity and Water Authority (EWA) President Kamal bin Ahmed Mohammed.
He said that the project, which is on track, is one of EWA Which strategic initiatives aim to bring about digital transformation in the electricity and water sector in Bahrain.
The new digital meters provide subscribers accurate readings automatically and remotely without the need for any human intervention, in addition to the automatic disconnection of the electric current in case of additional loads.
The new metres, which can also record readings related to the quality of the electric current for subscribers, are characterized by the speed of activating subscribers’ accounts by connecting the electric current to the meters remotely without the need to visit the site.
“The digital meters provide an automated system starting from reading to billing, in addition to the possibility of linking them during the next stage with smart applications so that the subscriber can accurately view the pattern of his consumption”, said the EWA President.
