Anglian Water announces partners to complete smart meter roll out

Anglian Water has signed new contracts this week with its network partners Arqiva and alliance partners Kier and Clancy.

The new agreements extend the organisations’ partnership for a further five years to complete Anglian Water’s smart meter roll out by 2030.

The agreement builds upon an existing relationship, through which Anglian Water has fitted one million smart meters across its region – connecting customers to their water usage like never before and helping find and fix over 300,000 leaks since the roll out started.

As part of these agreements Anglian Water will continue to work with Kier and Clancy to install over 1,500 smart meters a day as it finishes upgrading all water meters in the region.

Jason Tucker, Director of Strategic Delivery & Commercial Assurance for Anglian Water said:

“I’m proud to announce we’re extending our agreement with our Alliance partners, Kier and Clancy for a further five years. The strength of our partnership has been the cornerstone of our success, and it will continue to be key as we work towards completing our smart meter rollout over the next five years. Together, we are not only delivering a seamless experience for our customers but also fostering a team environment that our people are proud to be part of.”

The new agreement means our industry leading programme will continue using the Arqiva network to connect the smart meters to our systems, helping show customers how much water they really use at home even down to an hourly level.

Mike Smith, Executive Director of Smart Utilities Networks at Arqiva said:

“Complete and reliable smart meter data is critical to influencing consumption and reducing leaks – both central to securing the UK’s water supply into the future. We look forward to developing our partnership even further and taking smart metering to the next level over the next five years.”
