This year Moldovagaz is implementing an automated system to collect gas meter readings remotely, with the first to be consumers in Chisinau, the gas company announced in a press release.
The system is needed in order to automatize all processes, from taking meter readings to billing to bill payment, informs the release.
The automation, argues Moldovagaz, will reduce reading errors and as a result consumers will pay for exactly what they consumed. Moldovagaz agents will no longer need to monitor meters and take their readings at their physical locations.
The system will be implemented gradually, with the first phase to be done in cooperation with the utility Chișinău-gaz.
