Ed Jones from Metpow joins the Ben Taylor Podcast at the Monaco Yacht Show to discuss how smart utility metering can modernise marina operations and give both operators and berth holders far greater visibility over electricity, water and other utilities. Ed explains how many marinas still rely on manual meter readings, trust-based systems and retrospective billing, and how Metpow replaces that friction with digital access, real-time usage data and remote management. The conversation explores how smarter metering can improve customer experience, reduce administrative workload, support more transparent charging and help marinas understand their true energy usage as demand continues to increase. Ed also discusses Metpow’s origins in the holiday park sector, its retrofit approach for existing marina infrastructure, the importance of establishing reliable data baselines, and how operators such as Aquavista are using the technology across multiple sites to create greater consistency and operational insight.

Metpow provides smart utility metering technology designed to help marinas manage usage remotely while giving berth holders clearer, realtime information about what they are consuming. The company is now scaling its marina offering in the UK while exploring further expansion across Europe and international markets.

Key Points:

• Smart metering can replace manual readings and outdated marina utility systems with real-time digital management.
• Better usage data helps marinas improve efficiency, transparency and customer experience.
• Metpow can retrofit existing infrastructure, allowing operators to modernise without necessarily replacing an entire marina utility system.
