Energy Company Portal Development
An energy company portal (utility distribution company, power networks, heat networks) is a personal customer account for payments, meter reading submission, application filing, and consumption monitoring. Regulatory specifics: requirements of Government Resolutions of the Russian Federation regarding information disclosure in housing and utilities and electricity sectors.
Personal Customer Account
Consumption and Calculations:
- Current meter readings (ASKUE if connected)
- Manual meter reading entry with submission deadline option
- Accruals for period (tariff breakdown: T1/T2 for dual-tariff meters)
- Arrears and penalties
- Payment history
Online Payment: Integration with payment systems:
- YooKassa / Sberbank Online / Tinkoff via API
- QR-code payment (SBP/YooKassa QR) — increasingly popular for mobile users
- Auto-payment from card: monthly or when arrears threshold exceeded
- PDF receipt after payment (compliant with FNS template)
Applications:
- Meter replacement
- Contract reassignment (change of owner)
- Application for technological connection (for new construction)
- Complaint about accruals
Each application is a tracked process with statuses and responsible specialist.
ASKUE Integration
ASKUE (Automated Commercial Energy Metering System) — remote metering system for smart meters (Mercury 206, Energomera, MATRIX). Data arrives via PLC/RF/GSM protocols → concentrators → server.
Portal integration with ASKUE server via REST API or SOAP services enables real-time consumption data display to customer (or with 15-minute delay).
Consumption Charts
Consumption visualization for period (day/month/year) via chart.js or ECharts:
- Hourly data (from ASKUE)
- Comparison with same period previous year
- Peak loads
For dual-tariff metering — separate chart for T1 (day) and T2 (night).
Information Disclosure
Government Resolution of the Russian Federation requires publication of tariffs, technical conditions, production programs. Special website section with current documents, updated automatically when new PDF is uploaded.
Technological Connection
Online TP application: object parameters, power, address → automatic contract and technical specifications generation. Status tracking at each stage. Integration with GIS TP Ministry of Energy (required for grid organizations).
Timeline
Portal with personal account, payment, meter reading: 2–3 months. With ASKUE integration, consumption charts, applications, TP: 4–6 months.
