The municipal utility problem isn’t a metering problem. It’s an ownership problem. The meter is fine, the billing system is mostly fine, the customer base is what it is, but no single team has been held accountable for the chain from a meter on a wall to a paid invoice. That’s where Meerkat Energy lives.
What an engagement typically covers
- Smart metering rollouts, programme-managed end-to-end, from feasibility through procurement, installation, commissioning, and operational handover.
- AMI operational support, meter data acquisition, MDMS, fault management, customer query handling, and billing-flat-file output into the municipal billing system.
- Revenue assurance & enhancement, finding the gap between what was supplied and what was billed, quantifying it, and recovering it. Our experience includes identifying material revenue-assurance opportunities across municipal-scale metering and high-value billing environments.
- Wheeling support, experience supporting energy-wheeling readiness, policy, reporting and implementation-support workstreams.
- Bulk-supply account verification, independent metering of the supplier side so the municipal account is cross-checked monthly.
