IMSERV, a leading UK metering and data services provider, has teamed up with B2B
energy supplier Valda Energy to roll out the **first-ever standalone AMR Smart Gas
Meter** for small commercial sites—marking a major milestone in smart energy innovation.

In locations where traditional SMETS 2 meters can’t be installed, this breakthrough
technology offers a smart, scalable alternative—potentially unlocking **over one
million new smart meter installations** across the UK.  This is a game-changer for
energy suppliers and businesses and can **help suppliers to meet their smart meter
roll out targets.**

**Jo Cox, CEO of IMSERV**, commented:

_“We’re proud to be first to market with this pioneering solution. Partnering with
Valda Energy to deliver smarter gas metering for hard-to-reach sites reflects our
commitment to solving real-world energy challenges. With remote data capture, businesses
gain deeper insights into their energy use—boosting efficiency, cutting costs, and
accelerating sustainability goals.”_

**Josh Turner, Head of Metering and Billing at Valda Energy**, commented: 

_“We’ve worked with IMSERV for data and metering services for a number of years 
and delivering new innovations like gas AMR is a key part of our partnership.  We
strive to lead the way in delivering the best possible service to our business energy
customers and being able to introduce cutting edge products and technologies is 
vital to achieve that goal.  As the first supplier to offer gas AMR to smaller businesses–
we’re leading the way in helping our customer achieve their energy goals.”_

**Sten Anderson, CEO at Flonidan added:**

_“At Flonidan, we are proud to bring the SciFlo® Smart Gas Meter to the UK market
in collaboration with IMSERV and Valda Energy. This device offers a smart, self-
contained solution for premises that are currently underserved by existing infrastructure.
We believe it will play a key role in accelerating smart gas adoption and enabling
more inclusive rollout coverage across the UK.”_

The SciFlo® Smart Gas Meter manufactured by Danish metering specialist, Flonidan,
is the first E6 (or 6m3/hr) meter of its type, able to deliver fully integrated 
communications.  This means the meter can transmit remote readings without being
reliant on a nearby electricity meter or WAN device, a breakthrough in gas metering
flexibility. 

With this strategic partnership, IMSERV continues to strengthen its innovative offerings
to customers as it scales up to meet the evolving demands of the energy sector, 
supported by private equity partner Bluewater.
