Ahmed Musa Al-Abadi, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Electricity, stated on Saturday that the smart meters will be linked to an electronic system, implying that they will provide 24-hour energy service.
In a subsequent interview, Al-Abadi stated: “The beginning of our entry into these areas, which we will transform into a smart transformation, will be preparation for them in 24 hours, which is an obligation of the ministry, and the service will be 24 hours, and there will be no increase in the tariff.”
He went on to say, “The experiment requires installing meters for citizens, and then providing electricity for about 24 hours in these elected areas,” and added that “these networks, their feeders, loads, and energy burning were studied.”
