Ontario LDCs face a daunting task in preparing their organization's business processes and systems for smart metering. The Ontario Meter Data Management and Repository (MDM/R) implementation process can be likened to the opening of the Ontario retail electricity market in its scale and complexity.
SPi and Sky Energy Consulting have partnered together to offer Preparation and Implementation Services for the Ontario MDM/R.
The SPi Group was instrumental in ensuring a successful market opening, and has been the leading IT provider in the retail electricity market since its inception.
Sky Energy Consultants have been instrumental in the implementation of Ontario's retail electricity market, which included readiness for all LDCs. Most recently, they have been directly involved with the IESO in the registration and enrolment of the initital LDCs to the Ontario MDM/R.
