Smart Metering Solution for a Commercial Mall in Karachi
To protect customer privacy, relevant customer information has been redacted
Karachi, the largest city and main commercial hub of Pakistan, faces growing pressure on its electricity infrastructure due to its large population and rising power demand. Despite ongoing grid improvement efforts, unplanned outages still occur frequently, creating challenges for both residents and commercial users.
In the summer of 2023, a newly completed shopping mall in central Karachi was preparing for operation. For the owner, Mr. Amin, the biggest concern was not the opening itself, but the metering system behind it.
Because of frequent power interruptions, the mall could not rely only on the main grid. Backup power sources were also necessary to keep daily operations running. This meant the project required a metering system capable of dynamically measuring and managing multiple power sources in real time.
Before contacting FUTURISE, Mr. Amin and his team had already tested several meters and system solutions. However, the results were disappointing.
Some systems could not accurately distinguish different power inputs. Others lacked flexible billing functions, remote monitoring, or operational control features needed in a commercial environment. For a shopping mall with complex energy usage, these limitations created both financial and management risks.
After detailed discussions with the client, the FUTURISE technical team quickly developed a customized smart metering and management solution tailored to the project.
In addition to core metering functions, the system provided:
Dynamic source-based metering and billing
Remote meter reading and data access
Remote meter reading and data access
Integrated control functions
Remote electricity purchase
Automatic email notifications and reporting
Our engineering team then supported the on-site deployment to ensure the system matched the real operating conditions of the mall.
Once the system was put into use, the project achieved clear improvements in both operation and financial control.
Users could see their electricity usage and billing information more clearly, and payments became faster and more convenient. At the same time, Mr. Amin gained more accurate visibility into power load conditions, energy costs, and income performance.
For commercial projects with complex energy structures, FUTURISE provides more than standard metering products. We deliver tailored smart metering solutions that help property owners improve energy visibility, operational efficiency, and financial performance.
The successful deployment in Karachi has become a strong example of how FUTURISE supports commercial customers with reliable technology, fast response, and practical engineering expertise.
