MERALCO TO TEST 5,000 ‘SMART’ METERS

MANILA ELECTRIC Co. (Meralco) will pilot test about 5,000 “smart” meters as part
of its advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) program, a company official said
on Wednesday.

Ronnie L. Aperocho, executive vice-president and chief operating officer of
Meralco, told reporters on the third day of Meralco’s Giga Summit 2023, that the
company is still waiting for the approval of the Energy Regulatory Commission
for the full implementation of the project.

“Maybe to have some sort of a significant pilot, maybe we are looking at least
5,000 [smart meters] to demonstrate,” he said, adding that the move is for the
customers to realize the value of having a smart meter.

Smart meters allow electricity consumers to monitor their power consumption in
real time. The pilot test will be for both prepaid and postpaid electricity
services.

The integrated system of smart meters is part of Meralco’s AMI program, which
serves as a two-way communication avenue between the company and customers and
enables the former to monitor what is happening in its electric grid.



Based on Meralco’s website, the prepaid electricity service is available in
residential areas in the cities of Manila, Mandaluyong, Pasig, and Makati.

It is also available in the municipalities of Angono, Binangonan, Cainta, and
Taytay in Rizal province, and parts of Cavite, Parañaque, Pasay, San Juan,
Taguig, Quezon City, Caloocan, and Bulacan.

Meralco’s controlling stakeholder, Beacon Electric Asset Holdings, Inc., is
partly owned by PLDT Inc.

Hastings Holdings, Inc., a unit of PLDT Beneficial Trust Fund subsidiary
MediaQuest Holdings, Inc., has an interest in BusinessWorld through the
Philippine Star Group, which it controls. — Sheldeen Joy Talavera
