The process initiated with a tender posted in July 2025, and proceeded to the award stage, culminating in December 2025 with a contract signing scheduled for mid-December. This contract covers a period starting January 2026 and has the potential for renewal, ensuring continuity until 2032, benefiting stakeholders involved in energy metering and measurement services.
