Anglian Water has awarded an extension to its contract with smart meter communications infrastructure provider Arqiva, that will see a further 300,000 smart meters brought online by 2025.
The deal will see around 97% of the properties identified in Anglian Water’s AMP7 smart metering plan covered by a smart water meter network, with Milton Keynes, Bury St. Edmunds and Braintree key locations for the latest installations.
Head of smart metering at Anglian Water, Doug Spencer, said: “The roll out of smart water meters in our area has already helped us find and fix leaks faster than ever before and better understand water use across the year. The data we receive from the network is already incredibly valuable for us in decision making, and as we develop increasingly sophisticated analysis techniques its value will only increase further.
“Our aim is to make sure every home and business in our region has a smart meter by 2030. Our successful and expanding contract with Arqiva is a significant factor in achieving that aim.”
