Gas Meter Reading

The sale of reticulated gas is a growth market, but in a deregulated environment, gas utilities and gas meter reading providers must make important decisions about their sales and distribution strategies. For instance, in order to secure suitable margins in today's highly competitive environment, the provider must move towards becoming a so-called "duel fuel" utility if not full-service, and must also determine how to get the greatest advantage from gas meter reading.

There are significant opportunities - and challenges - for multiple energy providers in a deregulated environment. If a utility is predominantly an electricity provider, it can gain new gas clients through acquisition or merger, or it can add gas services to the energy supply of existing electricity clients. For existing gas providers, there is the opportunity to sell electricity to a much larger market base. All this has a bearing on gas meter reading logistics - and the logistics are extremely complex without a system that can manage multiple providers and multiple commodities.

When it comes to gas meter reading and the collection of other data, providers will be paying to be in business if they do not have an integrated data collection and processing system to support this complex business adjustment.

No efficiency will be gained if you have to use different teams and systems to provide electricity and gas meter reading services. You need a data management system that can integrate with any system without significant business restructuring, enabling you to get on with the business of managing your utility or meter reading operation.

If you wish to expand your business to take advantage of the opportunities afforded by multi-commodity and multi-utility retail energy and need a system that can cope with both electricity and gas meter reading requirements, you've come to the right place.
