AMI system used in 29 townships, saving about 9% of electricity loss

ACCORDING to the Ministry of Electric Power, 29 townships in Yangon Region have used the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system to reduce power loss by nine per cent.

In these townships, electricity loss was 14 per cent to 15 per cent before, but now the loss of electricity is only about six per cent.

Electricity generation by the Ministry of Electric Power, and transmission and distribution activities are being carried out, and losses in electricity transmission and distribution activities are also occurring, officials said.

Losses may occur due to the error of meter readers, and losses may occur due to fraud by electricity consumers in various ways.

In order to solve these losses, the Ministry of Electric Power has implemented the AMI system.

The AMI system will be installed in all townships within the Nay Pyi Taw Council Area.

As a recent measure, Pyinmana, Dekkhinathiri and Pobbathiri townships and three townships within Mandalay Region are installing AMI smart meters.

As electricity consumers, they can view the amount and information of the electricity units they are using every day from their phones at any time, and the department can also check whether any fraudulence has been committed on the installed meters.

People will be able to view and check the electricity bill, and they will be able to pay the electricity bill over the phone as well, officials said.
