Advanced Metering Infrastructure
Ongoing projects representing nearly 50 millions meters worldwide.
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is a system that allows customers’ electricity consumption to be managed remotely. AMI systems use smart meters and communication networks to collect and transmit real-time consumption data. Smart meters provide more accurate and frequent consumption data than traditional mechanical meters.
1.8 millions smart prepaid meters installed in India
EDF international networks India successfully installed and commissioned 1.8 millions smart prepaid meters in the state of Bihar—the country’s first smart metering project with prepaid functionality. The installation process covered two Discoms operating in the state. The project features end-to-end Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), including cloud storage, HES, MDM, and secure IT integration, enabling real-time data processing and analysis.
Objectives
Help our clients design and implement AMI systems that meet :
Profitability
Scability
Performance
Efficiency

Interoperability
Our approach
EDF International Networks markets the international version of the French Core AMI system.
We propose the support of EDF international networks through AMI’s scope of work:
- Initial AMI Program Diagnosis: understand the local context, assess utility challenges, identify key stakeholders
- Program Strategy & Roadmap: cost-benefit analysis, POC, roadmap, training and strategic workshops
- Defintion of the solution: IT architecture, business processes developmet, cybersecurity, selection of use cases
- Procurement implementation: equipment specifications, RFP drafting, selection of suppliers
- Project deployment: equipment qualification & testing, deployment planning & logistics
- SMOC: supervision of the communication chain and data management, IT tools
- Meter data use cases: development of stakeholders use cases, development of network operation use cases
- Turnkey project: end-to-end project management (IT, deployment, etc.)
Benefits of AMI solutions for Distribution System Operators
- Increase customer satisfaction by providing them better control over their electricity consumption
- Faster outage detection and service restoration
- Operational efficiency through reduced maintenance costs
- Better knowledge and optimization of the low voltage network
- Optimization of renewables penetration in low voltage network
- Loss reduction through data accuracy
