Smart metering by Swisscom

Smart metering for energy and water utilities

Smart meters supply meter data to the energy and water utilities in real time.

Utility companies can provide customers with live consumption data and initiate timely, appropriate behaviour changes, which are the key to greater energy efficiency.

Smart metering: let us connect you

The revised Federal Energy Act states that 80 percent of all meters must be converted to smart meters by the end of 2027. Your customers’ demands for greater transparency, decentralised energy production using photovoltaic systems, not to mention tangible business benefits are all important arguments in favour of smart metering systems. For utility companies, smart metering offers data-based analysis, management and efficient operation of your systems.
