ATHENS, June 14 (Reuters) - Greece's sole power grid
operator HEDNO is set to unseal on Tuesday seven bids received
in a tender to replace about 7 million outdated electricity
meters across the country, the operator said.
Itron, Landis+GYR, Elster, Protasis, Iskraemeco,
Gridspertise and Instrasoft International have bid to supply
HEDNO with about 7 million energy meters.
The operator will shortlist the bidders who fulfil the
criteria to proceed to the next stage of the tender, it said.
The new meters will allow consumers to save power and enable
the operator to better supervise a grid which mainly consists of
overhead cables exposed to adverse weather and susceptible to
breakdowns.
The cost of project was not immediately known.
