Echelon to help with Russian smart-metering pilot

Echelon Corporation’s NES Energy Control System has been selected as one of five solutions in a 50,000-home smart-metering pilot project by PermEnergo, part of the MRSK group, one of Russia’s largest utilities.

Echelon value-added reseller Engineering Center ENERGOAUDITKONTROL was awarded a contract for networking 10,000 homes in the pilot project that is being monitored by the Russian government as a potential model for the country. With experience networking over 300,000 smart meter points in smart-grid projects using Echelon’s Networked Energy Services (NES) smart-grid infrastructure system, ENERGOAUDITKONTROL is the leading smart-grid services provider in Russia.

PermEnergo expects the pilot project to save its customers up to 20 per cent of their electricity usage while lowering its operating costs and improving the overall efficiency of the grid. Installation is expected to begin over the summer and be completed by the end of 2011.
