16. Choosing an
AMR System
It should be scalable and robust to
accommodate disparate meters for easy
and comprehensive data collection and
management
Proper analysis of desired reports
should be done by Business Intelligence
or Meter Analysis Team
18. Choosing an
Internet Service
Provider (ISP)
Thorough feasibility study of the
different Areas of PPM installation
should be carried out to determine
the best ISP for the different Areas
as coverage strength in specific
Areas might differ from one ISP to
another.
20. Selection of
Vendors &
Vending Sites
The point-of–sale image and the
personnel operating the
equipment must be trustworthy in
the eyes of customers.
The system must be
secure so that tokens
are not used by others.
The point of sale should be
available for vending during
the time periods convenient to
the customers.
The activity of buying
electricity (getting to the
vending sites, buying and
getting back) should not take
more than 30min.
Customers of any reasonable age should
be able to identify their meter and
specify purchase. Children should be the
main purchasers at the point of sale and
purchase is often a convenience purchase
(not specifically planned for buying
electricity and is like making errand of
buying telecom recharge cards at the
local stand or supermarket).
21. Staffing & Staff Training
Complete Training of How the Prepaid
System Works should be made available
to all staff levels including:
Management
System administrators
Installation teams
Maintenance teams
Customer service staff
Vendors
Staff Training is vital because an incompetent and corrupt Staff is the worst thing that can happen to any organization.
22. A Good Marketing
Campaign
The prepayment system is an
innovation in the electricity industry
especially in Africa and not well-
accepted yet.
This requires a good marketing
campaign.
24. Main Objective The major purpose of marketing
campaign is to engender consumer
acceptance and appreciation in
both urban and rural areas.
25. Choosing
Advertising
Themes
In choosing advertising themes, flashpoints should be on the
reoccurring sentiments of customers on the use of postpaid
billing. Examples of themes explorable are;
‘‘Making your life easier’’
‘‘Electricity at your convenience’’
‘‘No more shocking bills/accounts’’
‘‘Putting you in control of your electricity costs’’
‘‘Pay as you go’’
“No More Disconnection & Reconnection Fee”
“No More Pressure to Pay Electricity Bills”
Marketing of the benefits of prepaid electricity requires
that consumers develop an appreciation of this facility.
Consumers need to be made aware of advantages of prepaid
electricity. The benefits of being in control of their budget is
the chief advantage of this system.
26. Regular Market Storm
Regular Market Storm is one of the
best ways to carry out customer
engagement to enlighten customers
on
Energy Saving Tips
Various Recharge outlets,
Options & “How To” involving
Meter usage
Answering Frequently asked
questions like “Why is my meter
running faster than that of my
neighbors.
29. A Good Pragmatic Policy on Energy Theft
Sample Laws Guiding Electricity Theft (Ohio U.S.A)
Since August 1978, a revised Ohio law has covered theft of utility service and
tampering with utility equipment. The statute provides that a person does not
have to be seen tampering with their meter to be held responsible for such
action.
In addition, in prosecution for a user’s reconnecting a device that was
disconnected by a utility (illegal Re-connection), such activity now is considered
prima facie (at first sight ) evidence the user intended to defraud the utility.
The law defines theft of utility service as a first-degree misdemeanor if the
value of the stolen electricity, plus any utility equipment repair is less than $150
(N54k). It’s a fourth-degree felony if more than $150, or if the offender
previously was convicted of the charge.
Tampering carries similar penalties. It is defined as “to interfere with, damage
or bypass a utility meter, conduit or attachment with intent to impede the
correct registration of a meter or the proper function of a conduit or
attachment.” Conviction of tampering can mean from six months in jail and
a $1,000 (N360k) fine to five years and a $2,500 (N900k) fine. In addition,
persons convicted must pay for the value of the electricity stolen and for any
damaged equipment.
30. A Good Pragmatic Policy on Energy Theft
Sample Laws Guiding Electricity Theft (India)
Punishment
Confinement – extends to three years, or
Fine – Applicable, or With Both of them.
Conditions for Punishment and Fine: where the load abstracted,
consumed or used or attempted abstraction or attempted
consumption or attempted use-
The Usage which equals to or is less than 10 kilowatts,
o On the account of First Conviction, the fine imposed shall be
equal to the three times (not less than 3 times) of the financial
gain due to the theft of electricity; and,
o On the account of the Subsequent or Second Conviction the fine
imposed shall be equal to the 6 times(not less than 6 times) of
the financial gain due to the theft of electricity; and,
31. A Good Pragmatic Policy on Energy Theft
Sample Laws Guiding Electricity Theft (India cont.)
Punishment Cont.
The Usage which is of more than 10 kilowatts,
o On the Account of the First Conviction,
o Confinement:- No Confinement;
o Fine:- At least 3 times of the financial gain due to theft of
electricity; and,
o On the Account of Second or Subsequent conviction,
o Confinement:- At least for 6 months to 5 years; and,
o Fine:- At least 6 times of the financial gain on account of
such theft of electricity; and,
If in the case of the second and subsequent conviction of a person
where the load Consumed is more than 10 kilowatt, such person shall
be debarred from getting supply or electricity for that period from
any other source or generating station, for at least 3 months to the
maximum period of two years.

33. SCADA, GIS & METERING
The Level of efficiency required in the
Advanced Metering Infrastructure –AMI
(which is an integrated system of smart meters,
communications networks, and data management systems that
enables two-way communication between utilities and
customers)
requires the corporation and Integration of
SCADA & GIS based Distribution Management
System (DMS) and Outage Management System
(OMS).
34. GIS, SCADA & METERING Cont.
The benefits of integrating SCADA
with DMS/OMS include:
GIS provides pinpoint locations of
smart meters when both systems are
integrated and visualized on a
mapping interface.
Consumption and tamper alarm data
received from the smart meters are
analyzed for actionable intel on
points of leakages or meter tampering
, computation and analysis of average
demand e.t.c
Smart Meter integration with GIS
enables accurate calculation of
nontechnical losses per distribution
substation in a network. Real
consumption of the Distribution
substation is gathered from smart
meters and visualized on a GIS
Platform
SCADA
SAP Maintenance
Field Survey

SM modem search
36. GIS, SCADA & METERING Cont.
Supervisory control and data
acquisition (SCADA) systems
have traditionally played a
vital role by providing
utilities with valuable
knowledge and capabilities
that are key to a primary
business function
Delivering power in a reliable
and safe manner.
SCADA & GIS solves the
problem of detecting the
customer fault location in
real time and responding to
customer complaints at the
same time of the power
outage.
37. Conclusion
For a metering system to work we need to achieve
end to end metering (Import vs Export Point) &
Data Acquisition.
Robust AMR system with Reliability.
Meter Data Analysis drawn towards Billing Accuracy
and Energy Auditing. The insights to the data
obtained from metering is what makes a Metering
System.
Our Policies must be Realistic and Business
Oriented.
