DIAGNOSTIC SUMMARY

We defined the focus of our analysis: the “meter-to-cash” value chain within the context of the full revenue cycle We assessed the maturity levels of the value chain processes We recommended 21 high-level interventions We summarized our diagnostic concerns

THE STRATEGIC ROAD MAP APPROACH

Metering Procurement Data Capture Management Meter Installation Meter Control & Inspection Meter Reading Billing Data Collection Loss Analytics & Management Process Mapping of Strategic Initiatives 6. Meter Reading Process 3. Procurement & Supplier Qualification 5. Meter Asset Management Plan 4. Inspection Field Crew 2. Meter Specification Policy Definition 1. Design of a Loss Analytics & Management Capability 9. Develop a Policy for Community Education 8. Establish a Policy for Developing People 7. Integrated Customer to Network Information System Strategic Initiatives Linked to Meter-to Cash Value Chain Processes Value Chain Process with Weak Maturity Strategic Initiatives Linked to the entire Meter-to-Cash Value Chain Process with Medium Maturity Strategic Initiatives Linked to the Wider Revenue Cycle Strategic Initiatives Linked to the Full Enterprise Value Chain Billing Issuance & Support Payment

We depicted strategic initiatives in terms of their relative impact & effort to identify the optimal sequencing: high impact-low effort, medium impact-effort & low impact-effort.

Scoring based on industry expertise with EDM validation Scale: 1 – initiative with less impact 4 – initiative with significant impact

THE STRATEGIC ROAD MAP SUMMARY

Revolving The capability needs to be reinforced over time in a revolving way Focus on weak commercial metering processes Impacts go beyond the meter-to -cash value chain

METER TESTING LABORATORY SUMMARY

Type-testing Lab Accelerated Life Test Lab Portable Equipment To assess the functioning of the meters within the pre-specified metrological conditions, specially metering errors To assess the functioning of the meter when subjected to stress conditions (temperature, humidity, vibration, tension, etc. ) To conduct tests of power parameters such as consumption levels, active & reactive power, harmonic measurement & calibration errors, amongst others
