“With Smart meter data analytics, consumers can optimize their consumption and ensure savings in their energy bills. These meters are providing customers real-time understanding of the power consumption on an hourly, daily and monthly basis,” said Nilesh Kane, chief of Mumbai Distribution at Tata Power.
