Advanced Metering Infrastructure

We're installing advanced meters in homes across WA. They're an important step in unlocking future energy opportunities for WA households, as well as delivering immediate benefits:

• faults on the service connection are remotely detected, so we can send a crew to investigate and act before an incident occurs;
• meter reading is done remotely and automatically, reducing the need for estimated bills;
• if a property is disconnected, the electricity supply can be remotely reconnected. Traditionally one of our technicians would need to visit the property to reconnect it;

customers can take advantage of emerging technologies like community batteries, microgrids, embedded networks and electric vehicles as well as supporting the increased use of rooftop solar.

We're now installing advanced meters for all new and replacement meters across the network.

By mid-2027 we will have installed over 1,200,000 advanced meters on our network. Most will be installed across the Perth metropolitan area and the regional centres of Albany, Bunbury, Geraldton and Kalgoorlie.
