New meters for our district heating customers
Vaasan Sähkö will replace the energy meters of its district heating customers in 2025–2028. On this page, you can read what you as a district heating customer should know about the meter replacement.
New technology ensures the quality of consumption data
“The district heating meters of Vaasan Sähkö’s district heating customers will be replaced in 2025–2028. In the first phase of the project in 2025, we will replace a total of 1,400 district heating meters,” says Project Manager Juha-Matti Karvala.
Why are the meters being replaced?
The remote reading function of the current energy meters works mainly with 2G modems. Technically, the meters will reach the end of their lifecycle when the 2G network will be shut down in Finland in the next few years. In other words, the meters will be replaced so that they will function also in the future.
The new energy meters are equipped with technology that no longer requires a separate remote reading function.
Our installation partner Elvera is responsible for the installation of the new meters.

District heating meters generally have a replacement cycle of about 10 years. Replacing meters is part of Vaasan Sähkö’s continuous work also outside of this project. This means that some of our district heating customers already have a new district heating meter and will therefore not receive a new meter during this project.
