Enzen Global Solutions, has entered into a joint venture with Dutch firm Closed Gap to offer integrated customer care, metering and billing solutions through the Internet for electricity distribution companies.

Sateesh Kumar, CEO of Enzen Global said: "The energy for all programme initiative by government of India is inspiring. This means India will supply electricity to another 600 million people by 2012 and increase the capacity from the present levels of 1.21 lakh megawatts. It is in this scenario that we intend to slot our solutions to stem revenue leakage from the system by ensuring proper billing and presenting a dashboard view of the distribution and consumption patterns."

With this solution, power distribution companies will now have a high value system at their disposal at lower costs and without any upfront investments, said Kumar, adding: "We will host and implement the solution through the Internet. Data collection will be handled through handheld devices while billing and customer information systems are handled through the Internet. We are establishing strategic partnerships with hand-held terminal manufacturers for easy adoption of our service."
