FAQs

The gas meter market has been following the electricity meter trend to AMR in the US for some years and is increasingly doing the same in Europe, but at a much slower pace. With a new consciousness towards energy efficiency, driven partly by fears about the environment and partly by concern about energy security, gas utilities are now considering advanced metering, jumping from AMR one way to AMI two way communication. The UK is the first country to announce a national roll-out of advanced electricity and gas meters, totalling an enormous deployment of 49 million meters. We predict that gas metering will follow the trend to advanced metering more widely in the next few years.
