Manuel V. Pangilinan-led Manila Electric Company (Meralco) continues to enhance its Elevated Metering Transformation (EMX), an evolution of its Elevated Metering Center (EMC), as part of the company’s ongoing investments to modernize the distribution network through smarter and more secure metering technologies.
Integrated with Meralco’s Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), EMX enables remote meter reading, disconnection and reconnection while providing better protection for metering facilities. It also gives the company better visibility of the distribution network, allowing potential irregularities and pilferages to be identified earlier, and field activities to be carried out more efficiently. These improvements strengthen the integrity of the metering system and support Meralco’s continuing efforts to reduce avoidable non-technical losses while delivering reliable service to customers.
EMX is one of the many modernization initiatives supporting Meralco’s broader grid modernization program. Together with other smart grid technologies, it helps strengthen the reliability and efficiency of the distribution network while supporting the company’s long-term investments in delivering safe, reliable, and dependable electricity service to its more than eight million customers.
Meralco continues to invest in modern technologies and infrastructure to build a more resilient distribution network that can support the growing needs of its more than eight million customers.
