AMI – benefits & challenges of this technology for developing countries

In this episode of the Energy Transitions Podcast, our guests unpack the benefits and challenges of AMI for a developing country like India, which is going through a massive AMI rollout exercise for its 270 million electricity connections.

While there will be many benefits to the distribution companies from the adoption of AMI, there will be many unknowns and unforeseen challenges for all stakeholders, including system integrators, OEMs, utilities, government and consumers.

To shed light on this topic, Jonathan Spencer Jones speaks with three industry experts who discuss the benefits and challenges associated with AMI. This can vary depending on the maturity of a utility, which translates into the volume and frequency of how AMI will be used by the utility for its energy transition like DER, energy storage and EV.
