Planned rollout for smart meters

Tue, 09 Mar 2021

Manx Utilities will shortly begin installing meters as part of its Island-wide smart metering system.

Over the next four years all of Manx Utilities’ 50,000 meters in homes and businesses will be replaced helping consumers to stay in control of their electricity use with accurate consumption information sent directly to the organisation through a dedicated low-power wireless network.

The wireless network has been commissioned and the first 15,000 smart meters have been manufactured and in-house testing of the system is progressing to plan.

Domestic prepayment meters in the North of the Island will be replaced first and Manx Utilities will be contacting those customers prior to the commencement of the roll-out, currently anticipated for June.
