Light and Ampla resume installing electronic meters in six municipalities of Rio, reaching at least 85 thousand consumers. This time, customers will follow consumption through digital display installed in homes
Rio - The power utility in the state of Rio, Light and Ampla, will use the electronic certificate with the guarantee stamp (National Institute of Metrology) to issue bills in the cities of Sao Goncalo, Duque de Caxias, Mage, Itaboraí, São João de Meriti et and even in the capital. It is expected that 45 thousand new chips are installed on Broad until the end of the year. Light has deployed 40 thousand electronic meters in the Baixada Fluminense in testing.
By requirement of Quality Control, residents can watch the daily consumption of energy in kilowatt via a digital display that will be installed in homes. According to the Director of Institutional Relations of Ampla, André Moragas, the consumption is recorded every minute. Control in the making can also be done through free calls to the Ampla (0800 28 00 120) or the Internet (www.ampla.com).
Currently, 250 thousand customers already have the Ampla measurement electronics. The change of equipment had been suspended for about a year and a half for determination of Inmetro. Two years ago, consumers complained abusive increases in bills after the change of the clocks of measurement. The controversy led to the opening of a Parliamentary Investigative Commission (CPI) in the Legislative Assembly of Rio (Alerj) to investigate the case. At the time, Baker Alex Xander Alves, 36, a resident of Saracuruna, in Caxias, pointed out error in the meter with chip Ampla of its establishment. In 2007, a report found Inmetro consumption of 58.9% above the previous average cost of the bakery. The demonstration caused a wave of outrage and prompted a series of articles' in shock bills "of the DIA, a finalist for the 2007 Esso.
In June this year, an ordinance of the Institute approved the use of the vehicle manufacturer Landis + Gyr by Brazilian distributors. In addition to the Ampla, the first distributor to offer the technology in homes, businesses do Pará, Maranhão and Paraíba also already use the measurement chip.
The equipment of Ampla begin to be installed on Tuesday. The boxes with chips that replace the clocks will be installed at 10 meters high, on top of the poles of distribution, making illegal connections and the risk of accidents. According to the concessionaire, the electronic measurement system centralized help combat the theft of power in Rio state champion cats in the grid.
Change the electronic billing
With the permission of Inmetro (National Institute of Metrology), which approved the adoption of electronic meters, the distribution of Rio may already begin to install equipment that will change the billing system to the 6.1 million consumers in the state - 3 , 9 million of Light and 2.2 million of Ampla - from next month.
The exchange will be gradual. Light remains today 40 thousand meters of the type in cities of the Baixada Fluminense, as São João de Meriti and Duque de Caxias. To date, these devices functioned as monitors consumption of households, making the energy balance of the areas, and were not applied to the billing.
Upon substitution, with the adoption of phones with the guarantee stamp, a requirement of legislation, and new software and hardware, you can cash in on the equipment, which are more accurate. The capital, which does not have meters, will also pass the amendment.
Ampla has installed 250 thousand and by the end of the year will have 45 thousand in its concession area. Customers of utilities will be notified in advance about the exchange of equipment.
