The electricity market of South East Asia is set to
boom, this is according to Frost and Sullivan.
This is motivated by an expanding residential sector
and the industry's replacement of old fashioned electromechanical metres with
more newer technologies - particularly in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and
Vietnam.
Revenues of the market (including electronic, electromechanical,
prepaid and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI)/automatic metre readers),
were US$403.9million last year -- expected to grow to US$483million in 2018.
