Smart Electricity Meters

Electricity Supply Board (ESB)

ESB wishes to procure up to 2 300 000 Low Voltage Smart Electricity Meters as part of the National Smart Metering Program (NSMP) in order to replace legacy Electricity Meters currently in service throughout the Republic of Ireland. It is intended that all legacy residential Electricity Meters and most non-residential legacy Electricity Meters will be replaced as part of the NSMP. The majority of these Electricity Meters are single phase. The NSMP implementation will also include the provision of communications, IT and security infrastructures appropriate to the roll-out of a complex Smart Metering Solution. These additional components will be sourced through separate procurements. The communications module for insertion into the Smart Electricity Meter will be sourced through a separate Communications and Data Services Provider (CDSP) procurement process.
