- SteamaCo prepares to address electricity theft and other difficulties.

SteamaCo, a UK-based energy company, has stated that it is prepared to address electricity theft and other difficulties in Nigeria’s power sector. Tom Parkinson, the company’s Managing Director, confirmed this in a press statement in Abuja.
According to Parkinson, the company assists energy distribution utilities in emerging economies in meeting its Aggregated Technical, Commercial, and Collection loss targets while also increasing revenue.
“SteamaCo’s cloud-based IoT Advanced Metering Infrastructure platform gives your utility the best way to detect theft and resolve it fast to meet your ATC&C losses targets. The platform easily integrates with your distribution network and smart meters, gathering and analysing data 24/7, 365 to detect meter bypass, meter tamper and illegal connection,” he said.
The platform also easily integrates with the other enterprise systems used by the utility. As a result, utilities can fully leverage their investment in smart meters and gain a deep understanding of both their distribution operations and their consumers. “SteamaCo enables utilities to operate in previously unreachable places, operate their distribution networks remotely, and automatically collect their revenue. As a result, consumers can trust that they will get a more reliable energy supply and stay informed about their energy service,” Parkinson stated.
In the release, Phil Roberts, the Chief Commercial Officer, emphasised, “SteamaCo further helps utilities pinpoint the vicinity of energy theft when it occurs. It also automatically alerts the utility’s field team to investigate, resolve and report on it immediately. With faster theft detection and resolution, your utility can hit ATC&C loss targets quicker and boost your revenue,” Roberts said.
He noted that this would assist African countries in overcoming a variety of electrical and power difficulties.
Also, the company’s Business Development Manager in Nigeria, Michael Nwachukwu, said, “the company is already in the country, working as a partner to the existing electricity companies.”
