Of late, there has been an increased demand in the implementation and roll-out of advanced metering infrastructure to improve load management, demand response, revenue protection, and customer service improvement. The deployment of this infrastructure enables energy utilities to support energy shortages, which is another important factor behind its uptake. The rising requirement of energy in emerging economies and the expected improvement in customer service levels and utility efficiency have also led to the demand for advanced metering infrastructure solutions and services. Plus, the increasing uptake of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the rapid increase in the construction of smart grids will also continue to drive the growth of this market. 

That said, there are still a number of technical, commercial and return on investment-linked challenges associated with Advanced Metering Infrastructure and related Meter Data Management Systems that need to be overcome. This training will introduce the essential knowledge and best practices on AMI infrastructure design, planning, and rollout. It will also assist participants in building a sound business case around the AMI implementation whilst ensuring there’s a return on investment.
