CFE Reports Nationwide Progress in Digital Meter Rollout to Improve Billing Accuracy

The utility cites accredited lab verification with recurrent field checks to safeguard measurement integrity for customer bills.

Overview

  • Most household meters are now digital rather than mechanical, which improves precision and makes readings easier for users.
  • Meters undergo verification and calibration in accredited laboratories before installation in line with applicable standards.
  • Trained CFE personnel perform scheduled field inspections to confirm measurement integrity and detect anomalies.
  • Meter replacements follow technical criteria such as service life, parts availability, and technological updates, and do not add costs for users.
  • Billing is based on recurring measurement periods that enable comparisons across bills to spot usage changes, while CFE invests in stronger networks and updated commercial systems for greater transparency.
