Country Outlook

Brazil's electric sub-meter market is growing steadily, thanks to a large and diverse power sector, rising prices, and government efforts to make things more efficient and clear. ANEEL's oversight and smart grid projects have helped sub-meters become more common in multi-unit homes, commercial complexes, and industrial parks to divide up costs and keep an eye on usage. Demand is also rising because of urbanization, the growth of distributed generation, and the need to cut down on non-technical losses. Some trends are slowly replacing mechanical meters with smart, electronic ones, retrofitting older buildings, and connecting with digital energy management systems. The most people who use it are businesses and large shared spaces. There is competition between domestic meter makers and service providers who offer affordable solutions and foreign companies that offer cutting-edge smart technologies. The main problems are the high costs of retrofitting, changing rules about who owns and maintains the units, and slow orders for unit-level sub-metering.
