After Linky… Pinky. By the end of 2023, no less than 5,000 pink meters will be deployed in France by Enedis. The latter, unlike its green sidekick, is not intended for private housing but for buildings and communities, reports Lemon Squeezer.
The purpose of the pink electricity meter is to promote the energy transition. “For building managers, Pinky will be used to improve their energy efficiency by analyzing what causes the biggest consumption or by detecting anomalies and sending a corrective order to an actuator, for example to cut off equipment left on unnecessarily”, explains Yves Barlier, manager at Enedis, at Journal du Net.

Better reception?
Like the green connected meter, Pinky will transmit the information collected in real time, but this time on a local scale. The pink box makes it possible in particular to coordinate the deployment of charging stations, to indicate the transits of energy in the network, or to know whether a district is injecting or drawing energy at a precise moment.
Montpellier, Lyon, Bordeaux, Nice and Paris have already welcomed this newcomer in places, which should be deployed more widely in the near future. Hoping that the pink meter will be better received by the French than its big brother. Indeed, since 2011, Linky meters have caused controversy, in particular because of the cost of setting up the box.
Privacy risks have also been cited by its critics. More recently, it is exposure to the waves that has raised consumer concern. But according to a study by the National Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health Safety (Anses) published in May, the levels of exposure to these waves would remain within the norm.
