Most of the DISCOs, LGUs, and Bulk customers receive electricity directly from the Israeli Electric Corporation (IEC) via MV/LV connection points. The objective of the metering of this assignment is to assist PETL in establishing a complete solution of metering system to allow PETL to monitor the connection points and collect accurate data from the proposed meters and issue bills to customers at the same time to process and create a database of load profile for every connection point and set the required plans. This includes selection of the metering system, hardware, and software, as well as procuring, installing, and commissioning of the advanced metering system.
