Feeder meters and substations on a connected municipal grid

Smart metering & utility data · AMI

Powering revenue.Protecting the grid

Municipal utilities and distributors still run on manual reads, estimated bills and fragmented meter/billing systems. Joule scopes, coordinates and delivers AMI locally — on NuriFlex hardware and software — so meter data can feed billing, operations and revenue assurance.

  • Remote reading, prepaid and billing integration
  • HES / MDMS, exception handling and data readiness
  • Install, commissioning and support defined by contract
  • Loss intelligence (ELMS) when you are ready to investigate

From the meter to the briefing.

AMI · ELMS · TMS · HES / MDMS

Municipalities & utilities.

Manual reads, estimated billing and fragmented meter-to-billing systems still leave revenue and network condition hard to see. Joule coordinates a local AMI programme — meters, communications, HES and MDMS — so data can feed billing, operations and revenue assurance, with loss intelligence and transformer monitoring when the network is ready.

  1. 01

    See the leakage

    Remote reading and AI loss detection end estimated bills and surface theft, tamper and technical losses — then prioritise anomalous circuits for investigation. Enforcement and recovery stay with the utility.

  2. 02

    Run the stack

    One programme from meter to management: smart metering and utility data, HES/MDMS configuration, prepaid where required, and billing or CIS integration scoped by contract — installed and supported here.

  3. 03

    Watch the assets

    Transformer and distribution monitoring adds load, temperature and condition alerts so maintenance is planned from operating data, not only after a feeder fails.

  4. 04

    Stay accountable

    Director-led South African delivery, Level 1 B-BBEE, ISO 50001 practice and after-sales that outlasts handover — one local partner from supply through support.

  • Metering and data-readiness assessment
  • AMI design, pilot and rollout coordination
  • Loss-data diagnostic or scoped ELMS pilot
  • Transformer monitoring requirements review

xEMS · ESCO · M&V · ISO 50001

Commercial & industrial.

Office portfolios, campuses, warehouses and process plant often sit on fragmented site data, unmanaged peak demand and little operational feedback. Joule runs energy audits, xEMS and improvement workflow for commercial sites — and power quality, compressed-air and pump-system work for industrial ones — with M&V and ISO 50001 where the contract includes them. We do not quote a guaranteed savings percentage.

  1. 01

    Commercial

    Establish the baseline

    An energy audit / performance review maps meters, loads and data gaps; energy strategy and a measurement plan follow — not a slide of promised savings. Thermography studies where the building needs them.

  2. 02

    Commercial

    Run and prove

    xEMS or EMaaS for monitoring, peak visibility and reporting; contracted M&V and ISO 50001 implementation and lead auditing turn improvement work into auditable evidence.

  3. 03

    Industrial

    Study and optimise the plant

    Power quality studies, plus compressed-air and pump-system optimisation from NCPC-trained experts in the group — field optimisation on the same campus, by the same local team.

  4. 04

    Industrial

    Develop and extend

    Energy project development, management and aggregation; solar, DER or VPP readiness scoped with partners once site data is solid — without claiming a trading licence or market revenue.

Commercial

  • Energy audit / performance review
  • xEMS / EMaaS with M&V where contracted
  • ISO 50001 implementation & lead auditing

Industrial

  • Power quality & thermography studies
  • Compressed-air & pump-system optimisation
  • Energy project development & DER readiness

Estate metering · Tenant billing · EPC · DER readiness

Property, estate & residential.

Landlord and tenant billing, estate metering, common-area loads and on-site solar or storage usually sit in different contracts. Joule puts metering, billing visibility and energy data under one local programme for property managers, estates and residential complexes — with building-performance assessment arranged through a registered professional, and DER or microgrid feasibility scoped with licensed engineering partners.

  1. 01

    Unify the meters

    Estate metering and landlord/tenant utility management on one local contract — handling irregular billing cycles, with energy-use visibility and tenant transparency.

  2. 02

    Make the estate visible

    Common areas, bulk supply and rooftop solar or storage become readable on the same energy picture property and facilities teams use for operations and resident communication — plus financial reporting, forecasting, accruals and budgeting of utility costs.

  3. 03

    Assess building performance

    Where EPC or existing-building assessment is required, Joule arranges delivery through an appropriately registered professional — with optional improvement support after the assessment, without claiming corporate accreditation.

  4. 04

    Scope the next layer

    DER and microgrid feasibility for campuses or estates can be coordinated with licensed partners once metering and energy data are in place — feasibility and readiness, not a construction or trading claim.

  • Estate and tenant utility-management scoping
  • Metering and billing-visibility programme
  • Building performance / EPC via registered professional
  • DER or microgrid feasibility discussion
  • Utility-cost reporting, forecasting and budgeting

The suite.

All solutions

Metering, transformer health, loss detection, energy management, VPP and city IoT — plus energy services for commercial, industrial and residential sites. The full width of the stack, one local partner.

Stop leakage at the meter — with an audit trail you can enforce.

AMI remote reading and prepayment end estimated billing. ELMS adds AI-powered detection of theft, tampering and technical losses across the network.
