According to the results of the first half of 2026, the distribution system operators (DSOs) of DTEK Networks continue to expand the automated commercial electricity metering system (ACEMS), which allows for real-time monitoring of electricity consumption.
“During the first half of 2026, specialists installed nearly 136,000 smart meters in Kyiv, Kyiv, Odesa, and Dnipropetrovsk regions, which is 37% more than during the same period last year,” the operating holding reported on Wednesday.
The pace of smart meter installation continues to grow, and currently, one in three customers in Kyiv, Kyiv, Odesa, and Dnipropetrovsk regions is already using them.
It is noted that smart meters are part of the ASKOE system. They automatically transmit readings to the distribution system operator (DSO), which simplifies the process of accounting for electricity consumption and allows utility companies to more quickly obtain information about the state of the grid and analyze consumption.
As explained by DTEK Networks, for customers, the installation of these meters means less hassle with regularly submitting meter readings and more accurate tracking of electricity consumption.
The implementation of the ASKOE system is taking place as part of an investment program approved annually by the energy regulator, the NEURC.
“You can find out if a meter replacement is scheduled for your home this year on your distribution system operator’s website,” the company explained to consumers.
The installation of smart meters is part of the “Network of the Future” project aimed at modernizing energy infrastructure and implementing Smart Grid technologies.
“DTEK Networks” operates in the business of electricity distribution and power grid operation in Kyiv, as well as in the Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, and Odesa regions. The company’s distribution system operators serve 5.1 million households and 150,000 businesses.
