1.3. Objective
AMI initiative is targeted to achieve.
Operational Efficiencies: improved reliability and lower operating costs in areas such as meter
reading, distribution system maintenance, and outage management.
Protection of Revenue: Reduced revenue loss due to the theft of power directly from the
distribution grid and tampering with the meters, as well as revenue “leakage” in some
customer processes.
Increased Cash Flow: rolling out monthly billing cycle.
Lower bills to Customer: achieving the conservation benefits, operational efficiencies, and
revenue protection lead to utility rate reductions which translate directly into customer
savings.
Improvement in Customer Service: provide real
and cost, and enable better customer communication around outages.
Conservation and Energy Efficiency: energy and capacity savings achieved through time
rates, effective communication and incentives to customers, customer
use, and grid operational improvements.
Increase in employee productivity: With lesser operational errors employees can focus on their
core jobs.
