By the end of 2013, all Finnish households will have an electricity meter that can be read remotely. Fortum will install its own Fortum Älyboksi meter for all of its electricity network customers.
Thanks to the new meter, you will no longer receive annual balancing bills, as you will always be billed according to your actual electricity use. Meter readings will be transferred digitally.
The meter measures your electricity use accurately so that you can monitor your energy consumption more closely than before. Better knowledge shall improve energy efficiency, making it easier to operate and manage network capacity when actual customer electricity consumption is known. In addition, the smart meters will be used for faster power failure resolution and as well as a platform for future services within electricity solutions.
