Project implemented in partnership with CESI as lead consultant
Nama Group has announced the commencement of operations of their centrally implemented Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) project designed for high value customers in the electricity sector in Oman.
The ground-breaking project was carried out by a professional team of Omani experts from the electricity distribution companies in Nama Group in partnership with CESI Middle East FZE, a subsidiary of CESI, the global technical consulting and engineering company and WIPRO Limited as the system integrator.
The AMR system is a central standard smart metering system that will enable electricity companies to obtain accurate, hourly meter readings from high value customers and collect their consumption in an automated manner.
“The AMR is another milestone in our continuous efforts to drive the electricity sector to enhance efficiencies, reduce electricity losses and provide better services to our customers,” affirmed Eng Omar Al Wahaibi, CEO, Nama Group.
“This project, which is implemented by Omani experts from the electricity sector will help the sector implement its future vision of building Omanis capabilities and put them at the forefront of leading technologies in the electricity industry,” commented Dr. Mansoor Al Hinai, VP Distribution, Nama Group.
“The Oman AMR project will successfully foster the creation of an advanced power sector in the country, and also help Nama realise their vision for utility service excellence and industry leadership amongst the GCC,” said Dr Matteo Codazzi, CEO, CESI.
“This AMR project is very significant for the development of the electricity sector in Oman, as accurate and precise meter readings prepares the sector for future advancements such as distributed rooftop solar generation, whereby solar energy is generated and consumed locally,” asserted Dr Floris Schulze, Managing Director, CESI Middle East FZE.
