The Meter Reading Section of PENELCO is now fully automated - from KWH reading, billing and to data management. With the thrust to better serve the member-consumers, PENELCO is now implementing the Meter Reading Management System (MRMS).
Through the MRMS and technology driven computers, the manual documentation and transferring of the data/readings were eliminated; that is, the process of KWH meter reading records directly from the field is now faster and well-organized. In this scheme, the maintenance and inquiry of consumer’s reading and billing records are more secured, reliable and faster by using the computers instead of looking through the voluminous records. Note worthy to this system is doing away the old, tedious and labor intensive activities of Meter Reading Section, which if to translate, the cooperative is saving time and money through taking away the overtime process for data/reading transfer and the purchase of costly reading cards. In the same way, continuous monitoring and checking of unbilled/unread consumer electric bills are realized as well as minimizing the bill adjustments, under and over billings. Other benefits of this noble endeavor also include the speedy printing, distribution and collection of consumer’s electric bills thereby contributing further in the improvement of our financial reliability and stability. By way of constant communication and working hand in hand with the Billing Section, the consumers’ data are securely transferred to and from the dedicated computers. –garygonzales- |
