Colombian utility Empresas de Energia del Archipiélago de San Andres S.A. E.S.P. is deploying the Aclara Two-Way Automatic Communications System (TWACS) advanced metering infrastructure technology on the islands of San Andres and Providencia. The TWACS fixed-network solution transmits and receives metering and utility data over existing power lines.
16,300 meters will be installed, starting in 2009 with a target for completion by the end of 2010.
A major objective of the plan is to reduce energy losses. In the first stage, this would amount to cutting losses from 34% to 12% on two feeders. In addition, the utility wants to use the data provided by TWACS technology to eliminate estimated billing.
