Elster will provide meters, communications equipment, software and technology solutions for the project.
NHEC will deploy Elster’s EnergyAxis system and more than 84,000 smart meters to enable advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) capabilities, such as remote meter reading and energy usage monitoring.
NHEC president and CEO Fred Anderson said that Elster has demonstrated success in rural areas and across different elevations with both large and small utilities, making NHEC very confident that EnergyAxis will enable it and its members to realize the benefits of the smart grid.
The NHEC smart grid project will begin this year and run through the end of 2012.
US based Elster is a provider of electricity, gas and water measurement and control systems.
