National Treasury has awarded a transversal contract that aims to help South African municipalities adopt smart electricity and water meters.
National Treasury recently awarded a transversal contract that allows municipalities to procure smart electricity and water meters, as well as other services, from seven different service providers.
Successful bidders will assume responsibility for the integrity of the metering installation, which includes the new meter and wiring but excludes current transformers, voltage transformers, fuses, and test blocks. Service providers must also provide a mobile data connection for the electricity meters to communicate over.
A system-generated notification must be sent to the supply authority’s responsible personnel on any identified meter tamper alarm. “Municipalities that are participating in the Debt Relief Programme and Smart Meter Grant Rollout will be invited to apply for the grant to fund their participation,” Treasury stated.
