The metering market is driving double-digit growth for OEMs active in the water space | North America editor Luke Bratt asks why advanced metering infrastructure investments are surging. 📈 In the US smart metering market, more #utilities are moving to upgrade their automated meter reading systems to advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), as it’s becoming more flexible and accessible. Metering revenues have now hit a crescendo, given the ability of OEMs to fulfil previous orders delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Selling AMI-enabled meters remains the most lucrative part of the market. 30% of US water utilities are understood to be on AMI networks. 💰    Now, metering OEMs are eager to move beyond customer billing by bringing volumetric data into the domain of operations and asset management.

An economic catalyst of the transition to renewable energy is that generation and bidirectionallity, is much cheaper, easier and more profitable than fossil fuel extraction and delivery. V2G and VPP’s will help disrupt histories triumvirates with renewable energy generation and storage everywhere resulting in supply and demand cheap cheap carbon-free energy independence in even the poorest countries. Today 60% of the world‘s countries rely on others to provide their fossil fuel. #peaceandprosperity

ICYMI: Our latest Utility Dive article talks about the balancing act between #affordability and the #realtimedata needed to support utility use cases ranging from reliability and resiliency to energy decarbonization. The costs of smart meter (also called advanced metering infrastructure, or AMI) deployments frequently rise to hundreds of millions of dollars per utility, and they are rapidly increasing—in fact, one utility estimates that the cost of new AMI has increased by roughly 25% over just the last three years. Those costs directly contribute to the growing affordability crisis many utility customers are facing. The good news is that an #AMx framework can help utilities be much more dynamic and agile in their infrastructure investments, have more flexibility to make smart choices that help keep rates low, easily test new use cases, and spread out costs over time while more quickly realizing benefits for both customers and utilities alike.

Q: ERCOT needs to deploy an Ancillary Service - how much of your contracted Ancillary Service capacity do you need to provide? A: You deploy the same proportion of your contracted capacity in that service relative to the proportion of the total AS responsibility deployed by ERCOT in that service. Example: ▶️ ERCOT procures 2,000 MW of ECRS from 7 pm - 8 pm ▶️ Operator is awarded 200 MW of ECRS responsibility = 10% of total ECRS responsibility ▶️ ERCOT deploys 1,000 MW of the service = 50% of total ECRS responsibility ▶️ Operator must deploy 100 MW of Energy = 50% of their ECRS responsibility or 10% of the deployed ECRS volume Link to a more complete explanation and more scenarios is in the comments - check it out. #ERCOT #AncillaryServices #itsallrelative
