Smart Meter Rollout
Transforming the energy market
We provided test management and technical testing services.
We delivered testing into the Smart Metering Implementation Programme, interfacing with test engineers, the Head of Testing, programme directors, CAB impact-assessors and external customers along the way.
We set up and managed the test lab and equipment.
We provisioned and managed the DCC Arqiva test lab and its equipment, including smart electricity and gas meters, communication hubs, pre-payment devices, in-home displays and other diagnostic equipment.
