Trimark removes worry and guesswork from the meter-approval process. Trimark’s revenue metering solutions include consulting, equipment and field support. We help you design your metering architecture and communication network, select meter equipment, configure meters, fabricate panels, install meters in the field, conduct point-to-point testing, and conduct independent certification. After installation, we continue our support with automatic meter reading, meter re-certification, meter data management services, and maintenance services.
Over the past two years, PCWA has undergone a transition from having all communications to CAISO going through PG&E’s communication system to having a direct connection to CAISO. This has involved replacing, programming, and commissioning all CAISO meters at five Powerhouses. Trimark has been instrumental in making this process possible. From project management to the field work of the installations, Trimark has made the entire process very streamlined. Trimark’s experience and expertise in dealing will all levels of the NRI process to install and certify new meters has been invaluable for PCWA to complete this transition.
