Canadian electricity distribution company Milton Hydro Services (MHSI) and Trilliant, which provides AMI, smart grid, smart cities and IIoT solutions, have partnered to implement a sub-metering programme.
The community-wide sub-metering programme will be powered by Trilliant’s Smart Building platform to provide an enhanced customer experience and energy savings opportunities.
Under the solution, says Trilliant in a release, customers only pay for their own energy usage and can benefit from their individual conservation efforts. Property managers also benefit through more predictable electricity costs for common areas, lower operating expenses and reduced maintenance fees.
MHSI, a subsidiary of Milton Hydro Holdings Inc. in Ontario, Canada, will use Trilliant’s design engineering, logistics, project management and professional data and field services to deliver the solution to its customers.

Commenting in a release was Steven Lupo, managing director, Canada and USA for Trilliant: “Sub-metering allows for a vital connection between consumers and energy service providers, building a culture of conservation while adding the ability to take part directly in saving energy and other exciting initiatives.
“Together with Trilliant, Milton Hydro was first to spearhead the adoption of wireless AMI metering in Canada. This partnership marks a significant milestone for Milton to once again lead the utility market with innovative products and services that deliver definitive value to their customers. We’re delighted to support Milton as it introduces this meaningful program to customers.”
Sub-metering is an energy management solution for multi-tenant buildings where each unit is individually metered.
Trilliant’s sub-metering tech replaces wired meters and cables with a wireless submetering solution that tracks tenants’ consumption and analyses buildings’ energy performance.
According to the North Carolina-based company, sub-metering is proven to promote energy efficiency in multi-tenant environments, with the average reduction in electricity usage after implementation estimated to be up to 40%.
