Honeywell has been appointed by Memphis Light, Gas and Water (MLGW) for a five-year project worth more than $200 million for the installation of Honeywell’s metering technology throughout MLGW’s service territory.
Honeywell will install a “fully integrated smart energy solution” that includes about 1 million electric, gas and water smart meters, the company said in a statement. The project includes communications modules to facilitate automated meter reading and software solutions to analyse and manage the data. The rollout is expected to be completed by the end of 2020, it explained.
The solution “will provide operational and cost efficiencies for MLGW” through integrated metering of electric, water and gas in its service territory and the automated collection of meter data. Customers are expected to benefit by having access to more data about their energy consumption and resources to help them better manage their usage, Honeywell said.
MLGW is the largest three-service public utility in the United States, the company said.
