The Estate Management Activity provides a suite of tabs that allow you to access and manage the key assets for each of your Sites across your energy estate.

Estates can be complex with an array of different assets (such as Import Meters, Export Meters, Billing Accounts, Associated Driving Data, Supplier Contracts etc.) and these assets and how they relate to each other can evolve over time. This can be due to things like meter exchanges, new meters, billing account changes, new Site acquisitions, and losses.

The Estate Management capability provides insight into this, providing an efficient and instant overview of the assets on a Site. This provides a great foundation to start working on your energy estate, bringing all of the assets that are setup on each of your Sites together in a way that they can be easily maintained, providing access to key information.

Selecting a Site will instantly update the content shown on the screens. The screens are designed to:

Improve user experience - ensure the various energy management functions can be performed with as little clicks as possible
Be Intuitive - provides full visibility of the assets on a site and how they all relate to each other, especially how they evolve over time
Provide the foundation for data quality – key information and relationships exposed so discrepancies are easily spotted so that changes can be made
Increase efficiency - provide access to the other functions that enable you to make changes quickly or start deeper analysis into the data.

This Activity allows you to:

Get a quick insight to top level information about each of your Sites
View and Manage Supply Points that are part of a Site
View and Manage Billing Accounts that are part of a Site
View and Manage Meters and Channels that are part of a Site
Access key functions across the system that help you with your energy management tasks
