Global power demand is projected to cross over 700 quadrillion BTUs by 2030 and industries are going to be major consumers with over 35% of the energy production.
In 2016, total global energy came from 80% of fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and petroleum). The main fossil fuel being used is natural gas (32%), coal (30%), and petroleum (1%).
Smart meters are truly a modern solution to the power sector and can play a pivotal role in improving the financial health of the Power Distribution Companies (DISCOMs). Smart meters can unlock a series of capabilities that improve billing efficiency such as automated remote billing services, outage reporting, flexible with time-of-use tariffs.
