BCS Guernsey

Ten years ago, Guernsey Electricity embarked on a project which would transform the way it handled readings from electricity meters across the island. From concept to delivery, this entire project was managed, developed and delivered by using GEL’s staff to produce an award winning system that will be completed in a few months time. With close to 30,000 meters needing to be changed, how was this achieved?
Was it just about meters or were there other benefits and systems that could be captured and developed?
Bob Beebe – Operations Director for GEL will outline the key milestones of this project including design, specification, integration and delivery and how it is changed operations and billing with in the business. Bob says “This project really shows how IT can change a number of business systems for the better and deliver outstanding results”
Bob has worked in the power industry for over 35 years and previously worked for PowerGen and the CEGB in the UK.
