The City of Tshwane has terminated its smart metering contract due to contract disagreement with the service provider.
The city said in a statement yesterday that the termination decision was largely based on the negative financial and economic impact of the project on the City.
” The roll-out of the smart meters commenced in October 2013 when these meters were installed at large power users (LPUs); small power users (SMUs) joined late in 2014.
To date‚ 6 572 and 6 348 smart meters were installed at LPUs and SPUs‚ respectively.
Since the roll-out of the project the City has paid the service provider R830 290 787 million in terms of the master services agreement (MSA) concluded between the two parties‚” said the city in a statement.
