ELECTRICITY METER GROUP ADMINISTRATION

The meter group administration services have been carried out by Adrem Invest professionals since 2009. These services are aimed at small consumers and include mounting/dismounting power meters and disconnections/reconnections for payment default or infringement of contract.

The meter group administration work is grouped in Operational Centers with national coverage – in the regions of Oltenia, Moldavia, Banat, Muntenia and Dobrogea. In order to provide these services at the highest standards, the Adrem Invest personnel uses a fleet of over 200 utility vehicles and high performance equipment, ladders, PRBs, tools and special devices, work and protection gear according to the applicable regulations, and, last but not least, PDAs, which are increasing the efficiency of their work, as it eliminates the use of paper.

Adrem Invest holds a type B ANRE certificate, according to Order 24/2007 for work execution, as well as the approval of the Romania Office of Legal Metrology for meter mounting activities.

Managing power meters entails a broad range of services for the maintenance and administration of meter groups.
