Municipalities: Carefully consider compliance or be left in the dark

For decades, Standard Transfer Specification (STS) has been the trusted standard for prepayment, and now it is evolving to power modern smart metering.

What makes STS so powerful is its balance. It keeps millions of existing meters running smoothly while also enabling next generation online solutions.

Utilities do not have to choose between the past and future because STS bridges both. Far from being replaced, it is more relevant than ever because it guarantees what matters most - reliability, interoperability and confidence in every energy transaction.

In this podcast, ESI Africa editor-in-chief Nicolette Pombo-van Zyl talks about smart metering, simplified, to Chairman of the STS Board, Lance Hawkins-Dady; STS Technical Consultant Franco Pucci; and STS Specifications Expert Don Taylor.
