• The need:

– Flexibility in de-regulated markets

globally

– Cost-effective replacement for MDI

metering, upgrade later when required

– Multi-utility application

– Low cost communications capability

• The Need

A cost-effective solution

from a reliable platform,

to meet the demands of

a changing commercial

and industrial market environment

• The need:

– A solution for sub-100kW sites in UK
