We are very proud to support energy growth based on an innovation agenda that ensures economic development in this important tourist destination for the country,” Herrera noted.
technology
Its energy service Modern technology, from one antenna in a multi-client area, It is monitored from a panel in the central headquarters, services are opened or closed remotely, and their consumption is known, just as public lighting is controlled.
To maintain their efficiency levels, they work online and in case of odds, access times are around 15 minutes, on average, at the same time the screens are updated with results read every meter, Connected.
