Bihar Leads In Smart Meter Installations
“In Bihar, smart meter deployment began way back in 2018, much before the advent of the Centrally-sponsored Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme.
It is therefore not surprising that of the 63.55 lakh smart meters currently installed in Bihar, as many as 45.29 lakh are out of the purview of RDSS. In fact, the remaining 18.26 lakh installations were part of non-RDSS programmes that were subsequently subsumed under RDSS.
The RDSS-backed installations in Bihar are led by EESL supported by other agencies like IntelliSmart and Genus. On the non-RDSS side, entities like Genus Power, Adani Group, NCC and Secure Meters are involved.
Polaris Smart Metering (formerly, Gram Power), an energy technology company founded in US, is also supporting Bihar’s smart metering activities. It was mandated with three projects, aggregating 58,600 smart meters, all of which have been installed. Polaris was associated mainly with state power utility South Bihar Power Distribution Company Ltd (SBPDCL) but was also working with private discoms like India Power Corporation Ltd (IPCL) and Bhagalpur Electricity Distribution Company Pvt Ltd (BEDPCL).”
