The Regional Gas Company completed the certification of “smart” natural gas meters developed by the specialists of the R&D department. The production and installation for gas consumers will begin in 2023.<\/p>\n
The meters combine a membrane meter and a built-in smart module with a modem; the device will automatically transmit gas consumption data to the gas distribution company.<\/p>\n
“Now, many people have left their homes and cannot access metering devices. Because of this, they have difficulties with calculations. Smart meters will eliminate these problems,”<\/em> explained Yaroslav Khavrel, Head of the Research and Development department.<\/strong> “Besides, it’s convenient, even when you haven’t gone anywhere \u2013 you don’t have to worry about giving readings at the beginning of each month.”<\/em><\/p>\n The membrane meter is based on components of the world-famous Italian brand Mesura. A smart module with a modem designed by the RGC specialists.<\/p>\n Production of smart meters will begin in Q2 2023 at the facilities of the Ukrainian metrological center RGC Metering. The first bunch \u2013 16,000 meters \u2013 will be manufactured this year.<\/p>\n “New meters will be installed as part of the investment program of gas distribution companies and planned for commercial sale. New installations are usually by developers. Within the framework of the investment program, we will replace old metering devices that have not passed the calibration with new meters free of charge,”<\/em> said Yaroslav Khavrel.<\/p>\n In Ukraine, more than 10 million gas meters have been installed for households. Only a few tens of thousands of them have smart systems. Other consumers have to transmit the meter readings monthly.<\/p>\n After launching the mass production of smart meters, conventional meters will be replaced with “smart” ones if the NEURC provides the relevant funds in the investment programs that the commission approves for DSOs.<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Regional Gas Company completed the certification of “smart” natural gas meters developed by the specialists of the R&D department.
