Isolated and Rural Service Territory To Unlock
Better Grid Reliability and Customer Service Through Full
Deployment of Advanced Metering Infrastructure and Pre-Pay
Program
Silver Spring Networks (NYSE: SSNI) today announced that it has
been selected for an advanced metering program by Horizon Power, a
Western Australian government owned utility, which has a service
territory spanning approximately 2.3 million square kilometers
(approximately 888,000 square miles), one of the most sparsely
populated in the world. Silver Spring’s multi-application, IPv6
network platform will be used to connect Horizon Power’s 47,000
customers for an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) program,
making it the first distribution utility in Australia to pursue a
non-mandated AMI deployment and a customer pre-payment program.
The program is a part of the $34 million project funded by the
Western Australian Government to reduce operating costs associated
with customer services costs and the servicing of meters in remote
locations. Silver Spring was selected for the AMI program following
the completion of a successful pre-payment program leveraging
technology from Silver Spring partner SmartGridCIS to enable
customers to pay for electricity in advance and better monitor
their electricity use.
“We are honored to be working with Horizon Power to bring
critical energy infrastructure to one of the largest geographic
utility service terrains on earth,” said Eric Dresselhuys, EVP of
Global Sales, Silver Spring Networks. “By deploying the Silver
Spring multi-application network platform, Horizon Power should be
able to leverage modern grid technology to deliver its services
more efficiently.”
“Silver Spring’s multi-application smart grid platform will help
us deliver benefits to our customers and set up a platform for
future benefits to allow customers to better manage their energy
use,” said Frank Tudor, Managing Director, Horizon Power. “The
technology should also allow us to reduce the cost of providing
electricity to our customers by removing the need to manually read
our meters as well as automating the reconnect and disconnect
process when customers move, which now can take our crews a number
of days given the vastness of our service area.”
Silver Spring’s smart grid networking technology has already
connected over two million homes and businesses in Australia and
New Zealand in partnership with CitiPower and Powercor Australia,
Jemena, United Energy and Western Power in Australia, and SmartCo,
Metrix and WEL Networks in New Zealand.
