Software maker eMeter has landed a contract that could see it managing data from smart meters across the United Kingdom. The deal is with Electralink, a company created in 1998 to manage communications between utilities in the deregulated U.K. energy market.
Electralink manages data from traditional meters, but it’s moving to integrate smart meters into its system as well. Right now about 15% of the U.K.’s electric meters are “smart,” or capable of remote monitoring, activation and shut-off.
But the U.K. government has called for all 26 million homes in the country to have smart electric and gas meters by 2020, making Electralink a potentially huge customer for eMeter.
