The energy supplier has teamed up with SmartReach, a collaboration of Arqiva, BT, BAE Systems Detica and Sensus, to trial their smart meter technology in Glasgow and the ‘hard to reach’ Lochwinnoch, 20 miles west of Glasgow and part of the Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park.
The trial will use a single, long-range radio based network to communicate with the installed electricity meters and follows an earlier trial in Ipswich, which used the same system.
