Electricity meter rules: After the installation of smart prepaid electricity meters, consumers will get the facility to port SIM card in case of network problem. Similarly, mobile consumers troubled by network problem take 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. Till now this facility is not available in one and a half lakh smart prepaid meters, due to which the balance is not getting updated.
There will be a 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 meter. In case of a problem with one, 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 installed in the city. It cannot be replaced with 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 meters, Kesco will also change the armoured cable. These 4G SIMs can be upgraded to 5G network in future.
