("Cyan" or the "Company")
Brazil smart metering order
Cyan Holdings (AIM:CYAN.L), the integrated system and software
design company delivering mesh based flexible wireless solutions
for utility metering and lighting control, announces that it has
received a purchase order from the local contract equipment
manufacturer selected by its strategic partner in Brazil, Nobre de
la Torre ("Nobre").
This order is for 1,000 CyLec retrofit modules, 25 CyLec Data
Concentrator Units and other smart meter components to fulfil
Nobre's commitment to manufacture and stock enough bespoke retrofit
units for its planned pilots with Tier 1 Brazil utilities, as well
as enable them to fulfil smaller orders on short notice across the
country.
In March 2014, Nobre deployed its first smart electricity meter
pilot project for a Tier 1 utility in Brazil, which has over two
million consumers. In August 2014, Nobre announced that a second
pilot with another Tier 1 utility, with six million consumers, had
also been successfully deployed in three different locations
selected by the utility.
According to GlobalData's latest report(1) , smart meter market
revenues in Brazil will increase tenfold, from $36m in 2013 to
$432m by 2020. The main market drivers for this projected growth
are the need to upgrade grid reliability and power outages, and to
improve the integration of renewable energy generation into the
system, reducing per-capita power consumption. In addition, with
power theft as high as 20% in some Brazilian regions, local
authorities are currently pursuing investments in smart meters, as
the technology provides a simpler way for companies to track and
prevent such activity.
John Cronin, Executive Chairman, Cyan Technology commented: "I
am pleased to announce an order from Cyan's metering partner in
Brazil. Like many other emerging economies, Brazil has a high rate
of non-technical distribution losses. To address these losses and
to enable the utilities to manage the rapidly growing economy, the
Brazilian government has set a target of replacing all 63
million(2) existing meters with smart meters. This represents a
substantial market opportunity for Cyan and an initial order
underpins anticipated growth during 2015, led by our new Vice
President, Mark Coyle."
João Nelson de la Torre, Executive Director, Nobre, commented:
"Following the development and successful pilot evaluation of our
retrofit smart metering solution by customers, a number of meter
manufacturers have requested that we integrate CyLec technology
with their products. We are now ready to commence with an initial
build of Nobre and CyLec retrofit solutions at our third party
contract manufacturer."
