Energy Balancing & Meter Completeness

A GIS-first model for locating missing meters and strengthening revenue protection across a municipal network.

The problem

A major municipality faced technical and commercial losses from incomplete meter masters, classification errors and poor reconciliation across the network.

The solution

We built a GIS-led reconciliation pipeline spanning substation, feeder, transformer and meter, integrating field evidence, governed validation and a cadence that routed corrective work to where it mattered.

The journey

  • Consolidated master data under a governed schema.
  • Built electrical hierarchies for topology and tracing.
  • Captured field evidence via Survey123 with photo and GPS validation.
  • Flagged imbalances and exceptions, including unmetered, misclassified and faulty points.
  • Routed teams to hotspots and tracked resolution through a live operating cadence.
  • Created leadership dashboards showing completeness and recovery progress.

Outcomes

  • Material improvement in meter completeness.
  • Fewer imbalances on targeted feeders.
  • Cleaner billing through classification corrections.
  • A repeatable loss-recovery operating model.
