RE: The Empanelment Process was introduced .......1 Jul 2022 09:41
Good morning jake,
Sorry for the delay in responding, I was busy myself during yesterday evening. Thank you for your response and it is good to know that the RFE document was/is relevant.
There are various dates on the front page of the RFE document, with the 30th April, 2022, being the deadline for submission for Phase 1 of Applications, which has been reached and passed.
The document I re-posted yesterday at 14:56, the Indian Smart Meter Market Landscape and Opportunities, which we were notified of during early May 2022, I believe, contains further information, but no dates for this section.
- Step 1 - Formation of Partnerships for Empanelment Application.
- Step 2 - Submission of Empanelment Application.
- Step 3 - Demonstration of End-to-End AMI Prepaid solution.
As we are now into July, I am taking it that step's 1 & 2 could be complete, at least for CyanConnode and Partners, who have been successfully delivering smart meter projects, pre-empanelment. Hopefully.
Step 3 is the demonstration of the end-to-end AMI prepaid solution of at least 100 meters. Details can be found on Page 17 of the Landscape and Opportunities document.
So this is where I am hoping we are now. At Step 3. At the end of Step 3, the Empanelment certificates are awarded for the successful demonstration, for the companies that were involved.
I understand the 180 day deadline for the Application Validity and realise that it cannot be open-ended.
Income will always be a concern, until this stage of the roll-out is confirmed. At the moment CyanConnode are reliant on the existing contract revenues, as we know, which we are waiting for confirmation on.
Which brings us back to the Trading Update.
