Delivering Intelligence, Enabling Utilities.

Helping Energy and Water Utilities operate more efficiently, conserve valuable resources and generate innovative revenue opportunities.

At Sensus we are more than just meters! We provide a complete customer proposition aimed at transforming water and energy utilities business performance, consisting of a utility grade dedicated communication network. We understand that operational efficiency is critical to the successful performance of energy companies and water utilities. That is why our solutions lead the way in utility grade communications technology and utility grade measurement accuracy, and reflect a technology roadmap fully aligned to a smarter future.

 
Energy and water utilities need to be more competitive than ever. They are dynamic, responsive organisations in need of new technologies to improve visibility of their operational networks; drive reliability, operating efficiency and security, whilst reducing wastage and limiting their environmental impact.
 
 
Challenges for the energy industry
 
Electricity plays a vital role in energy supply and it lies at the centre of Governments' responsibilities worldwide in their drive towards low carbon economies. This has introduced new challenges for the industry.
 
In response energy companies want greater operating efficiency in production, transmission, distribution and metering. We understand that differing customer patterns will have an impact on local power distribution networks - and how you'll need to respond to manage these changes. We also appreciate that you need to meet these challenges while operating under tougher cost and performance controls from industry regulators, with a stronger-than-ever focus on environmental responsibility. Practically this means dealing with the complexities that distributed micro-generation, electric vehicles and wind generation all bring to a developing distribution network.
 
 
Challenges for the water industry
 
Fresh water is a very limited resource and utilities are under increasing pressure from Governments and consumers to make the best use of this very limited natural resource.
 
On average 20% of treated water is still lost through leakage even in developed countries, so it's clearly a focus for most water utilities. We know the cost of electricity for pumping makes up 20% of operating costs and we understand the advantages of off peak operation. We appreciate that increased regulator monitoring has led to added costs for compliance, while also operating under the more watchful eye of public opinion in terms of limiting the environmental impact of sewerage management.
 
It's because we understand your industry and your challenges so well, that we are perfectly placed to help you plan for the future.

How Sensus can help you address those challenges

For both the energy and water industry, advancement of new technologies are vital for success. Leading utilities are looking for solutions that go well beyond remote meter reading. They are now demanding open, secure, smart communication networks designed specifically for utilities which help them remove complexity and reduce operational costs, whilst at the same time helping unlock the growth potential of their business.
