Discover how high-quality metering drives stronger commercial returns

As PR24 gathers pace, water companies in England and Wales are investing in smart water metering technologies without agreed-upon success standards across the sector. This creates challenges both for procurement specialists at water companies – and for the regulators evaluating water companies’ proposals.

In our latest report from Frontier Economics and Artesia Consulting, we assess the commercial impact of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) initiatives. We demonstrate that superior connectivity, widespread coverage, accurate meter readings, and efficient data operations lead to significantly better financial outcomes. The report makes the case for a long-term view when evaluating smart water metering proposals.

  • Guidance for regulators and water companies on evaluating AMI programs in the absence of a common standard.
  • How companies gathering hourly smart water meter readings, captured daily, with extensive connectivity coverage and high read success rates are poised to achieve £4,137 million in returns over 30 years.
  • Why companies opting for daily meter reads, monthly data returns, limited connectivity coverage, and lower read success rates can anticipate returns of £2,058 million over the same period.
