Eco Voice Q & A: Jenna Leiner, Sustainability Lead at AWS, Asia Pacific (APAC).
To provide insights into the role tech companies can play in Australia’s transition to renewable energy, Tim Langdon, publisher of Eco Voice, had the pleasure of facilitating a Q & A with Jenna Leiner, Sustainability Lead at AWS, Asia Pacific (APAC).
Q1. What are smart energy meters?
According to the Australian Energy Council, smart meters – also called advanced or digital meters – provide real-time electricity information between a customer and an electricity business, and can give energy customers more options on how they use and manage their electricity consumption.
Q2. Why are smart energy meters important in the transition to renewable energy and decarbonisation?
Smart energy meters are a great example of the power of detailed, real-time information in the energy transition. Consumers can use this information to make more informed decisions on when they choose to use energy, opting to use less energy during peak periods when it may be cheaper. As more consumers turn to solar, battery-powered and electric vehicles, energy companies also need this information to understand this evolving behaviour and plan the power supply for the network. Energy companies are just beginning to leverage the potential of smart energy meter information, by moving data from inside on-premises systems to the cloud, and for more than just billing.
