CEM will proactively develop Smart Grid in 2016, projects include the deployment of fibre-based communications in medium-voltage network, the installation of 60 EV charging stations, the implementation of Pilot Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) with 2,000 meters, the installation of solar panels at 4 substations, and the construction of the new Dispatch Centre by 2019 with the most advanced SCADA/EMS/DMS system.

In addition to allow citizens to learn about Smart Grid, CEM’s exhibition booth also displays the EV charging station currently set up at public car parks, Smart Home demonstration as well as photovoltaic and wind power generation models. Moreover, CEM also sets up a “phone charging station” for all visitors.
