ISLAMABAD: Islamabad Electric Supply Company (IESCO) has announced new rates for Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) meters, which will no longer be installed free of charge.
Under the revised pricing structure, a single-phase AMI meter with a 20-meter cable will cost Rs35,000, while opting for a 40-meter cable will raise the price to Rs38,000.
For three-phase connections, an AMI meter with a 20-meter cable is priced at Rs65,000, whereas a 40-meter cable variant will cost Rs110,000.
IESCO has already replaced over 550,000 old meters with AMI meters at no cost to consumers. However, new connections will now require consumers to bear the installation expenses.
The installation of AMI meters will be carried out in Rawalpindi city, Cantt, and Taxila divisions, according to IESCO.
