About The Conference

Preamble

IEEMA Meter division proudly announces the 9th edition of “Metering India", the benchmark event of the Indian energy metering industry. “Metering India”, powered by IEEMA, is a biennial event organized in collaboration with metering companies & various stakeholders in the electrical ecosystem. Over past few decades, this event has not only offered a platform to metering companies to share information related to metering and express their diverse perspectives but has also served to help power sector utilities address the challenges and issues associated with the adoption of new technologies. Since 2004, more than 3300 delegates representing diversified fraternity of power sector have participated in "Metering India” seminars. The last edition was attended by over 600 participants representing more than 180 organizations comprising of utilities, consultants, franchisees, institutions, testing labs, system integrators, regulators, solution providers and manufacturers.

Metering is no longer limited to the conventional application of billing alone. Empowered with smart communication technology, metering has lately opened several avenues of which stakeholders can benefit from it also provides useful information for Analytics, Pricing Mechanisms, Demand Response, Load Curtailment, Revenue Protection, Demand Forecast, Energy Management etc. Services like installation, billing, analytics, improvement in billing efficiency, renewable integration and management, etc. have all become a part of the wide horizon of Metering Solutions.

The Indian metering industry has matured since its inception five decades ago and in partnership with all the stakeholders is poised to take on the challenging journey of making the Indian utilities smart and sustainable. We aim to gather a cross-section of knowledge from stake-holders under a single umbrella and channelize all the efforts in the direction of building a sustainable and inclusive future that is beneficial for all.

“Metering India” has catered to diversified themes in the past like “Revenue Management” to “IT in Metering for Efficient Power Distribution”, “Smart Indian Dimension", etc. Today, 'smart' features are impacting our lives like never before. The 'business as usual scenario of a few years back has been reinvented by smart devices. The transparency and trust challenges are being answered through technology in every sector. Our lives are flooded with information. The awareness related to resource conservation in every form has taken over our lives like never before. At this juncture, it is imperative for us to take a stock of smartness for sustainability
