Embedded Networks

Select Solutions specialises in developing customised solutions through the provision of embedded networks.

An embedded network can be viewed as a group of aggregated metered sites merged as a single meter for the purpose of obtaining a group retail contract, providing consumption data feeds for more accurate billing.

There are several benefits of installing an embedded network solution including:

  • The combined, aggregated consumption will entitle the network owner to negotiate an improved rate based on usage
  • It provides an ongoing saving on energy costs
  • It allows for a site to manage load and look for energy efficiency opportunities.

As a metering services provider, Select Solutions brings the experience of extensive metering capability and the provision of embedded network solutions. We work closely with a number of embedded network operators to support their customers in achieving a successful and sustainable solution for the metering of an embedded network.
