Trilliant Expands Its Role in Ireland's National Smart Meter Program

By

Globally, one of the most compelling uses of Internet of Things (IoT) technology is the ability to manage energy resources more efficiently, both for utility companies and customers. In an effort to save energy and make its grid smarter, Ireland debuted its National Smart Meter Program (NSMP).

The NSMP’s implementation means that, by the end of 2024, every electricity meter – residential and commercial – will have been replaced by a next-generation smart meter. This switch from mechanical meters to next-gen will make it easier for Irish companies and customers to better manage energy use, saving money and lower the country’s carbon footprint.

Advanced metering infrastructure provider Trilliant announced that its UK division has been selected by ESB Networks as one of the suppliers to provide smart meters in support of the rollout of Ireland’s NSMP. Trilliant has been an approved ESB Networks supplier for smart meters and related services since 2021, when a framework agreement for head end systems, meter data management systems and security architecture was signed.

 “Our meter replacement program is helping to ensure a greener, more sustainable Ireland,” said Carmel O’Connor, Smart Metering Project Manager, at ESB Networks. “We’re delighted to partner with Trilliant in this next phase of our deployment plan, which will ultimately provide homeowners and businesses with increased choice, and better and more accessible information about their energy consumption.”

Under the terms of the agreement, Trilliant and its partner, Holley Technology, will be responsible for supplying ESB Networks with Three Phase meters, including implementation, testing, maintenance and support. With Trilliant and Holley’s expertise and technology, homes, farms and businesses will benefit with greater energy efficiency, more accurate billing, improved network management and more.

“We’re thrilled to work with ESB Networks and supply best-in-class technology and support for this transformative project in Ireland,” said Tom Tipple, Managing Director of the Europe, Middle East and Africa Region, for Trilliant. “Through this partnership, our work together will result in secure, reliable solutions that can transform ESB Networks’ utility system.
