The adoption of this fully automated system strongly contributes to saving energy consumption by utilizing the huge information available to Kahramaa, which will enable the Corporation to accurately identify consumption patterns in the country and use this valuable information for better planning and management. This, in turn, will reduce carbon emissions, thus protecting the environment. As a result, Smart Meters project represents a crucial step towards achieving sustainability goals. In addition, reducing operational costs of manual meter reading will result in reduced environmental impact, as associated transportation will no longer be needed.

Building a smarter grid makes accurate information about consumption rates, times, and patterns, available to Kahramaa, enabling it to plan more effectively for production and supply operations, thus saving energy and reducing emissions associated with production, which in turn leads to achieving environmental and operational sustainability.

In addition, a smart grid is more capable of integrating clean energy resources effectively, as alternative energy sources in general have variable production patterns, and the smart grid, through high operational capabilities and flexibility, helps with the successful integration of clean energy sources in the network.

The project also enables utilization of modern technologies to rationalize consumption by enabling customers to take control and monitor their consumption, supporting efforts of the National Program for Conservation and Energy Efficiency (Tarsheed). The modern system will also help in identifying violations and malfunctions and addressing them quickly and effectively.
