Brontobyte Technologies’ Fraud Management and Revenue Assurance solution, ENPHASIZE, offers a powerful approach to significantly reduce transmission and distribution (T&D) losses without the need for costly smart metering systems. By analyzing historical data from meter readings and consumer behavior, it accurately identifies T&D and commercial losses. ENPHASIZE seamlessly integrates with the existing SAP ISU data structure, helping utility companies boost overall revenue, improve energy efficiency, and lower operational costs. It also provides various regulatory methods to address losses and electricity theft.
Utility Market Study
Industry experts estimate that utilities are losing an average of 2 to 4 percent in revenues during the meter-to-cash cycle. Research on electric meter-to-cash losses, often referred to as non-technical revenue losses, reveals that approximately 80 percent of these losses are due to theft, faulty metering, and lenient soft shutoff policies.
Distribution losses represent a significant and undesirable impact on the revenue of utility companies.
To enhance energy efficiency, utility companies regularly rely on audit reports to analyze energy losses, identifying causes from large-scale transmission and distribution systems down to individual consumers.
It is widely acknowledged that theft is prevalent within utility distribution networks, leading to substantial financial losses for the companies. Therefore, a system-based solution is critical for these companies to protect their revenues, detect and prevent meter tampering, misappropriation, and electricity theft, and enforce penalties when necessary.
