Automatic meter reading

Most organisations can use automatic meter reading to measure, collect and record energy information that can be transmitted to a PC or over the Internet to create reports and analysis that will help towards better energy management.

Half Hourly Meters

Half Hourly Meters are now in ever-increasing demand as the CRC and other energy legislation encourages half hourly meters to be installed at the earliest opportunity.

Half Hourly meters, or "00" electricity meters, have traiditonally been installed in buildings that have a peak load above 100kW. However, the benefits that are provided by these meters, means that many commercial buildings, and even homes, are now installing this technology.

Community Wind Turbines

Community wind turbines are increasingly being used to provide electricity in remote parts of the countryside where small villages and towns are a long way from the National Grid. However community wind turbines are being increasingly employed in urban environments where communities are keen to reduce their impact on the environment. In countries such as Denmark 60% of wind turbines are owned by local cooperatives to provide energy for small communities.

Excess electricity can often be sold to the National Grid to provide an additional revenue stream for community wind turbines.
