GE AEROSPACE 
By New Meter will Help Build More Efficient, Sustainable and Reliable Electric Grids
ATLANTA, GA.-January 18, 2012-GE (NYSE: GE) announced today
the availability of its new SGM3000™, a family of IEC smart
energy meters designed specifically for utilities facing
growing energy demands. GE's new IEC smart meter will lay the
foundation to help Australia and the Middle East overcome
21st century energy challenges, building a more efficient,
sustainable and reliable electric grid.
"Today the world is facing energy challenges like never
before," said Luke Clemente, general manager-metering and
sensing systems for GE's Digital Energy business. "For
example, Australia's electricity rates have risen 60 percent
the past 10 years, and the Middle East has some of the
highest energy consumption in the world. As the demand for
efficient, reliable energy grows, utilities are adopting
advanced grid technologies to help meet these challenges.
With the new IEC smart meter, GE can play a key role in
helping energy constrained regions realize the benefits of a
modernized grid."
Smart meters provide two-way communications between the
utility and the meter. With nearly 100 years metering
experience, GE's new family of meters will set the stage for
intelligent grid applications and open the door to
effectively manage distributed generation and aggregated load
control. Key features of the meter include:
- Meeting the IEC International Electrotechnical Commission's metering standards in Australia and the Middle East.
- Supporting revenue grade metering for residential, commercial and industrial applications.
- Supporting multiple grid applications; ready to integrate into a suite of software applications to increase network efficiency and quality of supply for customers.
- Modularity, scalability and flexibility to meet customers' critical needs.
- Improved energy efficiency from the utility to the home.
- Enhanced access to multi-utility measurements for electricity, water and gas.
- Extensive relay and multi-element configurations for application flexibility.
