Electricity Meters Rules: Now you can also port your SIM card of your smart electricity meter. Its biggest benefit will be seen in remote areas and dense settlements with poor network.
Electricity Meters Rules: After the installation of smart prepaid electricity meters, consumers will get the facility to port the SIM card in case of network problems. Similarly, mobile users troubled by network problems take the SIM card of another telecom company. Genus Company has developed this technology in six and a half lakh smart meters in the city. Its biggest benefit will be seen in remote areas and dense settlements with poor network. So far, one and a half lakh smart prepaid meters do not have this facility, due to which the balance is not getting updated.
There will be port between the two companies. SIM cards of Airtel and Jio companies will be installed in the SIM block of Genus Company’s new smart meters. If there is a problem in one, the SIM of the other company will be installed. For this, the consumer will have to apply to Kesco, after which the SIM will be changed. Vodafone’s 2G SIM is installed in 1.52 lakh smart prepaid meters in the city. It cannot be replaced with the SIM of any other company. The new smart meters are of 4G technology, which can also be upgraded to 5G.
MD Kesco Samuel Paul N said that the work of installing six and a half lakh smart prepaid meters will start from this month. Along with changing the meter, Kesco will change the armored cable. These 4G SIMs can be upgraded to 5G network in future.
