Almost 120,000 meters started submitting electricity readings on their own this year, – DTEK Grids

Thermal power generation20 August 2025
Over seven months of 2025, DTEK Grids Distribution System Operators installed almost 120,000 “smart” meters in the city of Kyiv and in Kyiv, Odesa and Dnipropetrovsk regions. All of them are a part of an Automated Commercial Electricity Metering System (ACEMS), which provides an opportunity to track electricity consumption in real time. This way, “smart” meters submit readings to the DSO on their own without intrusion of their owners.

DTEK Grids DSO install ACEMS in the city of Kyiv and in Kyiv, Odesa and Dnipropetrovsk regions within the framework of the investment program, which is approved annually by the state regulator NEURC. In the multi-appartement residential building, ACEMS is installed for all residents at once. For the residents, introduction of the system provides for replacement of old meters with the new “smart” ones free of charge. 

From January to July 2025, another 119,900 “smart” meters appeared in the homes of Ukrainians thanks to the energy workers of DTEK Grids DSO. These metering devices, integrated into the ACEMS, automatically measure, collect and submit data about electricity consumption by every customer. This allows not only to form an accurate volume of electricity consumption, but also to promptly detect emergencies, overloads or equipment malfunctions. 

You can find out if a meter replacement in your house is planned this year on the following websites: 

Introduction of ACEMS is a part of the project on modernization of the energy infrastructure in the city of Kyiv and in Kyiv, Odesa and Dnipropetrovsk regions using Smart Grid technologies “Grids of the Future”. 

Let us remind that by 2034, DTEK Grids DSO plan to replace old meters with the “smart” ones for every customer.
