Stockholm, Sweden and Coventry, England UK \u2013 (September 2, 2025)<\/strong> – <\/strong>Netmore Group<\/a>, the leading network operator for Massive IoT, and\u00a0Severn Trent<\/a>, the UK\u2019s second largest water company, today announced that Netmore has been selected to deploy and manage network services for one million smart meters across more than 20 counties. The AMP8 contract for the supply of AMI water meters on behalf of Severn Trent and sister company Hafren Dyfrdwy had an estimated value of \u00a3200 million when it went to tender in September 2024 and is subject to Ofwat\u2019s final determination.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With an initial contract term of 3 years and an intention to accelerate the implementation of smart meters started under Severn Trent\u2019s Green Recovery Programme, Netmore will deploy and manage a dual LoRaWAN and Narrowband-loT (NB-IoT) network and lead a group of suppliers to deliver the water meters. Data delivered on a daily basis to Severn Trent is expected to improve customer awareness of water usage, reduce leakage, and help accurately plan water supplies for the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNetmore\u2019s expertise in deploying large-scale LoRaWAN networks for smart metering, combined with our advanced network management platform, flexible business models, and world-class customer support allows us to meet the rigorous demands of major projects, making us a trusted partner for water utilities. We\u2019re honoured to be selected by Severn Trent to modernize their water infrastructure, strengthening our leadership in the UK\u2019s IoT ecosystem and shaping the future of the global water industry,” says Ove Anebygd, CEO of Netmore Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFollowing a rigorous evaluation process to advance our AMI initiatives, we are confident in our choice of Netmore and its metering partners for our program. Netmore\u2019s experience in supplying carrier-grade network connectivity and reliably delivering smart meter data will help Severn Trent monitor water consumption more accurately, identify leaks faster, and reduce and operational carbon emissions in line with our stated goals,\u201d says Anthony Hickinbottom, Smart Metering Networks Lead at Severn Trent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Itron and Diehl have been selected as LoRaWAN meter providers for this program and Vodafone IoT has been selected to provide connectivity services for NB-IoT meters. The Netmore Connect platform will be utilized for all network and device management and data delivery to Severn Trent\u2019s Meter Data Management System. Under the management of Severn Trent, Network Plus Services will plan, schedule, and install the meters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
