Vector wins Australian smart metering contract

NZ electricity and gas distribution company Vector has won a contract to provide metering services to EnergyAustralia with an initial three-year deployment period that will commence before the end of 2017.

Vector now expects to be deploying advanced meters on behalf of at least four leading electricity retailers in 2018 across New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and the ACT.  

Vector Limited Group Chief Executive Simon Mackenzie said, “We pride ourselves on our proven and innovative delivery of advanced metering services in New Zealand and Australia, alongside our huge focus on health and safety. Vector is looking forward to building on our New Zealand experience and being part of EnergyAustralia’s new Power of Choice journey and supporting their aim to provide a world-class customer experience. 

“We’re taking our experience and expertise from managing New Zealand’s largest energy network, and our investment in developing new energy technologies and partnerships, and exporting them to other markets such as Australia and the Pacific.”
