San Jose, CA, Nov. 30, 2007 -- Echelon Corp. announced that its Networked Energy Services (NES) smart meter has received certification from Measurement Canada. Echelon's NES meter, which includes a built-in, remotely-controllable 200 Amp service disconnect switch and built-in power line networking communications, has been approved for measurement of active (kWh) and reactive (kvarh) energy as well as for use as a bi-directional meter with registers for delivered and received energy.
Nearly one million NES meters have shipped to date, all built on the same set of ANSI and IP standards and the same core electronics and networking technology that have been approved for use in the Canadian market.
"Achieving Measurement Canada certification is an important milestone for Echelon," said Frits Bruggink, senior VP and GM of Echelon's Service Provider Group. "With this certification, our value-added reseller partners can now offer their system solutions built on the NES platform to utilities in Canada."
Echelon's NES meters are intelligent ANSI-style communicating electronic meters with an integrated software-controlled disconnect; a range of energy, power quality, theft detection, and data recording capabilities; and remote firmware upgrade support to provide a "future-proof" platform to address the requirements of today and the future.
