ROLL OUT

摘要

Victoria is the first state in Australia to give the go-ahead for the wide spread roll out of smart meters. Starting in September last year, the roll out of smart meters is the biggest infrastructure update for the Victorian energy sector since the poles and wires network was installed. Smart meters are being rolled out to residential and small/medium business electricity consumers (using less than 160 MW h per annum), with more than 20,000 smart meters installed to date. The roll out is part of a larger infrastructure program - the Victorian Government's 'Smart Infrastructure Program', which forms the building block for the state's future functionality.
