1.13 million electricity smart metres installed across Oman
MUSCAT: The rollout of smart electricity meters across the Sultanate of Oman crossed the 75 per cent mark at the end of last year, with the project on track to achieving 100 per cent coverage before the end of this year, according to the Nama Electricity Distribution Company (NEDC). Both NEDC, with a mandate covering all the governorates of Oman (with the exception of Dhofar) and Nama Dhofar Services (which is responsible for Dhofar Governorate), successfully installed 1.130 million smart meters across their respective jurisdictions as of December 31, 2024. The initiative, first launched in 2021 as part of the National Meter Reading Project, is key to the government's goal of driving the digital transformation of energy management. The pace of smart meter deployment has also picked up in recent years. 'NEDC's installations surged from 244,088 meters in 2021 to 1,008,958 meters in 2024, while Nama Dhofar expanded from 10,815 smart meters to 121,596 smart meters over the same period. The deployment rate saw a significant boost, rising from 26 per cent in 2022 to 46.17 per cent in 2023, and reaching 75.48 per cent in 2024,' NEDC — part of Nama Group — noted in its 2024 Annual Report. Significantly, meter reading performance — a source of customer unease over billing accuracy in the past — has now reached an impressive 96.17 per cent, said NEDC, citing the ongoing meter replacement drive as key to enhancing accuracy and reliability. 'By replacing outdated meters with modern, high-precision units, the company significantly improved meter reading efficiency, minimised discrepancies and proactively identified potential sources of energy loss,' the utility stated. Furthermore, to help address challenges associated with manual meter reading, particularly where existing analogy meters are installed within the locked premises of customers, NEDC says it has begun integrated advanced metering solutions into its operational framework. These measures have resulted in higher accuracy, reduced operational inefficiencies, and enhanced overall service quality, it pointed out. Also making headway is the implementation of the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) project, centring on the deployment of Automated Meter Reading (AMR) systems to modernise infrastructure, optimise operational costs and minimise losses. 'This initiative enhances real-time data collection, ensuring greater efficiency, accuracy in meter readings, and improved customer engagement through access to real-time consumption data. Additionally, it supports cost reduction efforts by streamlining operations and enhancing service delivery,' it added. A cornerstone of Oman's digital transformation strategy, the National Smart Meter Programme aims to replace analog meters with 1.2 million advanced smart meters before the end of 2025. Besides enhances billing accuracy, the devices empower consumers with real-time data to manage their energy use more efficiently. It also strengthens network performance by minimising power losses and enabling data-driven maintenance and planning. Beyond operational gains, the programme supports the development of smart cities, promotes energy efficiency and contributes to economic growth by optimizing energy use and supporting renewable energy integration.

Residents in North Lanarkshire urged to check their electricity meters as RTS switch-off looms
Over 5000 properties could see problems with their heating and hot water More than 5000 properties in North Lanarkshire could potentially be left with no heating or hot water if they don't have their meters changed by June 30. Clare Adamson, MSP for Motherwell and Wishaw, has warned that there are 5100 Radio Teleswitch Service (RTS) meters in North Lanarkshire still awaiting replacement ahead of the system ending in summer. Ms Adamson is urging constituents to check their energy meters as the RTS will be switched off at the end of June. RTS – Radio Teleswitch Service – is a system dating back to the 1980s that uses a radio signal to tell meters to switch between different electricity price rates. If you have an old RTS meter, you'll need to have it replaced with a smart meter before this date to avoid potential disruptions to your heating and hot water. Figures suggest by the end of April there were about 432,000 RTS meters still to be replaced in the UK – with nearly 135,000 located in Scottish properties. So how do you know if you have an RTS Meter? You get cheaper electricity at different times of day – and the switching occurs automatically. There are some key things to look out for: Your tariff might be called: Total Heating Total Control Economy 10 Storage Heating Control Standard Economy & Heating Load Restricted Hours tariffs A,B,C and D ComfortPlus White Meter ComfortPlus White Meter with Weathercall ComfortPlus Control Economy 7 Some, but not all RTS systems, have a separate box near the electricity meter with the words 'radio teleswitch' or 'radio telemeter'. You can work out the type of meter you have by visiting Citizens Advice Scotland's website. Homes with electric storage and water heaters are more likely to use the equipment. On your electricity bill/statement, the top line of the MPAN (the Meter Point Administration Number, a unique identifier for your electricity supply) will start with '02'. Ms Adamson, SNP MSP for Motherwell and Wishaw, said: 'Though most households will be unaffected by the RTS switch-off, I am really concerned that it will have a disproportionate impact in Scotland where we have a higher number of people off the mains gas grid. 'There are reportedly over 5000 RTS meters in North Lanarkshire still in use. And energy suppliers appear to be behind with people finding it difficult to get an appointment. 'The SNP has called for the switch-off date to be delayed, or for a guarantee of compensation if customers face increased costs. This is a matter reserved to the UK Government so we need to see some urgency from the Labour administration. 'Your energy supplier should get in touch to offer you a smart meter before the RTS switch-off on Monday, June 30, 2025. But it is best to contact your energy supplier directly rather than waiting as we are close to the deadline. 'If your RTS meter isn't replaced, your heating could end up always on, never on, or turning on and off at unsuitable times for you. 'Please be wary of people trying to charge for replacing your meter; scammers exploit these kinds of situations. Your energy supplier should replace old RTS meters for free, though there may be costs if re-wiring is involved.'

Ratlam hottest in state at 44.2 degree C, mercury soars across Indore-Ujjain division
Indore: The Indore-Ujjain division was in the grip of a sweltering heatwave on Wednesday, with temperatures climbing sharply across all major cities. Ratlam emerged as the hottest in the region and the state, registering a scorching 44.2 degrees Celsius. Indore recorded 41 degrees Celsius—two degrees above the seasonal average. By 5:30 pm, the temperature in the city was still a searing 39.8 degrees Celsius, reflecting the unrelenting heat. The persistent high temperatures have affected daily life, with both civic bodies and religious institutions taking heat-mitigation steps. In Indore, temporary shade tents have been erected at several traffic junctions to provide some respite to commuters. People walking on the streets and commuting from one place to another were seen covering themselves with scarves and umbrellas. Senior meteorologist Dr Divya E Surendran attributed the soaring temperatures to clear skies and dry weather conditions. "There is no significant system currently influencing central India, which is allowing daytime temperatures to rise rapidly. This pattern is expected to continue for another four days. There are chances of cloudy weather and isolated rainfall in the eastern parts of MP from April 27," she said. A heatwave alert was issued for parts of the region, including Khargone, Khandwa and Ujjain for Thursday and Friday. No major change is expected in the prevailing weather pattern over the next four days, though a marginal rise in temperature is likely. The final week of April is forecast to remain uncomfortably hot across the Indore-Ujjain division. Minimum temperatures are expected to remain elevated—between 27 degrees Celsius and 30 degrees Celsius —leading to warmer nights. Maximum temperatures may hover between 41degrees Celsius and 44 degrees Celsius, sustaining the heatwave conditions across the region.
