MARKET DIALOGUE - Imeter, Smart metering system, Innovation challenge project

Aarhus Vand (AAV) is preparing a tender for an innovation challenge project (Imeter) with the ambition to innovate, test and implement a sustainable (environmental and economic) smart meter solution of the future on the drinking water system.

Through the tender it is desired to select the consortium which in the innovation challenge project together with AAV shall innovate, explore and challenge the existing technology, the traditional approach to smart metering and the way intelligent tools are used in the value chain in order to create new businesses, and build and deploy a smart metering system in one of AAV's districts of operation.

However, the aim of the innovation challenge project is to develop a solution which in the long run can be implemented in the entire supply area of AAV.

Prior to launching the tender, AAV is conducting a dialogue phase with the aim of obtaining the market's immediate input in relation to the basic conditions of the tender documents.
