    What Next and Three Preparation Tips for Australian Councils    
  • Chances are you’ve heard about the proposed “metering change” that will allow councils and other lighting customers to capture the financial benefits of smart lighting features like dimming and trimming. For those working on smart lighting projects it might be starting to feel like this discussion has been going since 1799, when gas streetlights were the new smart technology in town. For others you might come across the topic every now and then or have tried to get your head around the detailed and sometimes convoluted communications out there. 

    We’ve delivered a bunch of smart lighting projects and had a tonne of conversations with around 250 councils over the last few years. So, it’s time to compile a guide to the basics of smart metering, with some background, an update and the critical need-to-knows. We also summarise the most important things that Australian councils should be planning for as a bare minimum. 

    To download this free 12-page guide, jump on and answer our special smart lighting quiz! We'll email through the guide. And the quick answers.

    We hope you find it valuable – or use it to pass along the chain to internal council stakeholders who need to know the lay of the land so they can help you get smart lighting projects over the line.
