Enoro and Smarthub show the way

(Sunnfjord, Norway, 1 October 2013) Smarthub AS has signed an agreement with Enoro for delivery of Meter Data Management (MDM) solutions. 11 grid operators have chosen Enoro as their partner for the fast approaching smart utilities future.

Meter Data Management (MDM) solutions delivered by Enoro will by the end of 2016 provide more than 112 000 end customers with vastly improved energy consumption control. The customer will no longer have to read their meters – all information will be automatically transmitted to the power supplier via the distributor. By 2019, all Norwegian customers should be fitted with smart meters.

The 11 grid operators in Smart Strøm Nordvest will by the end of next year through Smarthub AS implement necessary infrastructure and business processes to fulfil regulatory demands. Smarthub will be a common centre for handling metering values and events for grid operator collection systems.

“We strongly believe that we will reap benefits on behalf of our customers by joining forces with Enoro. Our goal is to reduce costs and risk by utilizing coordinated solutions and assisting each other through clever exchange of competence and resources. We have ambitions and aim to become the most successful collaboration project in Norway as far as the introduction of smart meters is concerned,”comments Stein Bergheim, CEO Nordvestnett.

“Through this Smarthub agreement, Enoro is showing the market the road towards the smart meter future. Grid operators will benefit enormously by utilizing our robust solutions and comprehensive experience. Enoro truly appreciates the vote of confidence given to us by Smarthub,” states Edgeir Aksnes, CEO Enoro AS.
