The Energy Ministry signed a contract with three service providers to improve electricity production, increase bill collection and drastically reduce waste and theft.
Initially, the service providers will test 3,000 smart meters before eventually installing them all over the country.
The installation of the 1.2 million smart meters will take around two years, provided that all parties in Lebanon facilitate the work of the technical teams.
“The center which will monitor the meters from Electricite du Liban’s building can read very accurately the real consumption of electricity for each household,” the source said. “There is no need to send an employee to read the meter and then report his reading to EDL.”
But the source hinted that the actual purpose of these smart meters was to prevent what he called “foul play” by some of the part-time employees, who may turn in inaccurate readings from the current meters.
