Vital Energy has been appointed by Dunedin Canmore to install smart metering technology into 228 homes in Edinburgh.

The developments at St Nicholas Place and Slateford Green will utilise the vPro2 technology. Each scheme has green ambitions, with St Nicholas Place having reduced parking to encourage the use of public transport and Slateford Green residing within a car-free urban village.

The two contracts, which each include a further three-year servicing agreement, will see Vital Energy provide the wireless heat metering solution into the properties. Work is expected to run until June 2018.

The vPro2 technology is installed close to the Hydraulic Interface Unit (HIU), and takes consumption information from the heat meter installed within.

Denise Neville, Service Centre Manager at Vital Energi, said: "We are pleased that Dunedin Canmore have chosen to work with us again following success with previous projects. We truly appreciate our working relationship and are excited to assist in their latest projects."

Hazel Young, Dunedin Canmore Managing Director, said: "We are delighted to work with Vital Energi again, and we hope these smart meters will help customers manage their energy use and get accurate bills."
