SUEZ AND NWL PARTNER IN HYDRO POWERED CONCENTRIC SMART METER PROJECT

SUEZ will develop an AI-based analysis software that can intelligently infer usage patterns from consumer consumption profiles

SUEZ has joined forces with Northumbrian Water Ltd. (NWL) as one of the key partners in the groundbreaking Hydro Powered Concentric Smart Meter Project, the recipient of the Ofwat Innovation Fund’s Catalyst Stream prize, with a grant amounting to nearly £900,000.

Constant transmission of smart meter data drains battery life and reduces the usable life of current smart meters. The Hydro Powered Concentric Smart Meter Project is set to overcome these limitations by harnessing the flow of water to provide unlimited power source for the meter. Among its key benefits include live, rich data for consumers and utilities; reduced consumption and improved leak prevention; water savings and enhanced sustainability; reduced maintenance; and elimination of batteries.

SUEZ plays an innovative contribution and a pivotal role in the project by developing an AI-based analysis software that can intelligently infer usage patterns from consumer consumption profiles. Additionally, SUEZ is behind the devel-
