Short description

ESB wishes to procure up to 2.3 million Low Voltage Smart Electricity Meters as
part of the National Smart Metering Program (NSMP) in order to replace
legacy Electricity Meters currently in service throughout the Republic of Ireland.
It is intended that all legacy residential Electricity Meters and most non-residential
legacy Electricity Meters will be replaced as part of the NSMP. The majority of
these Electricity Meters are single phase.
The NSMP implementation will also include the provision of communications, IT

Solution. These additional components will be sourced through separate
procurements. The communications module for insertion into the Smart Electricity
Meter will be sourced through a separate Communications and Data Services Provider
(CDSP) procurement process.
