An important development that has occupied the agenda recently is urban regeneration projects. Urban regeneration projects that have started to be implemented in many of our countries and are continuing to work on projects in many areas; It brings new investment obligations to EDAs on the one hand and opportunities to provide more up-to-date data on customer service management on the other.
Since investment programs and applications are more in the area of expertise of plant units, we want to share our views in terms of customer service management.
As it is known, the areas where urban transformation is applied are generally; it is applied more intensively in areas of cities with older textures or around dense settlements. That's why the subscription process for customers in these regions was established years ago! Therefore, customer information could not be updated during the period of time on the one hand; distribution and retail services have not been sufficiently efficient with the distribution of locations.
One of the problems of EDAs for many years, the issue of not clearly conning the number of active subscribers and their installed power, perhaps in this sense, an institutional solution step will be taken.
During the energy sector in buildings to be demolished because there was not enough coordination between the units in previous periods; the business department cuts off electrical contact of buildings without shopping for information with customer service. Thus, many customers still appear to be active customers in the EDAS system due to the fact that the customers in that building have accrued, consumed and yet un accrued debt collection, refund of the security fee and contract termination procedures cannot be made.As a result of the continued operations in this way, customer service today faced difficult situations in this regard.
Customers in thousands of buildings that will be demolished at this stage of urban transformation will be able to to keep the customer portfolio and information healthier by duly doing so.
When starting this application, it should be removed from the portfolio of customers who appear to be active customers in the present situation but are not actually in use for years, have been liquidated and destroyed and have no possibility of use.
Most Accurate Method
It is only the right way to perform the process with the appropriate processes by arranging the appropriate forms for these applications and to get the results and signatures of the relevant departments.
In these forms, the customer's;
The reading officer's statement,
Last reading and accrual date,
Whether or not there is an accrued debt,
Whether there is un accrued consumption,
Assurance fee information,
The principles of the regulation and preservation of many copies of forms should be determined by the compiled and signing of many information such as the opinions of the on-site determination commission. After these operations, the designated customers should be transferred to a separate media and active users should be identified.
During urban transformation, potential customer and installed power estimates can be made using zoning and building projects, while both current user information and installed power information are clearly obtained in the customer's contract, while quality and easy operating opportunities are obtained in terms of service delivery in these planned areas.
In addition, smart network application can be started by selecting pilot applications in a short time by ensuring that the meters to be used in these new facilities (epdk has the characteristics specified) are suitable for remote reading.
An important element to consider here is the compliance of the facilities and the supervision of EDAs during the temporary acceptance and installation inspection phase.
Thus, in these areas, which are completely new facilities, the responsibility of both leakage/loss and service application speeds and quality is first and forely the responsibility of the company.
For this reason, applications in urban regeneration areas can be seen as a self-assessment area for EDAs.
If one or more substations can be used as micro-fields in terms of full measurement and evaluation opportunities during the urban regeneration process, more accurate decisions can be made with updates to the strategic plan as a result of these assessments.
