Metpow and Rolec Partner to Revolutionise Utility Management
Metpow, a leader in wireless utility management, has announced a strategic partnership with Rolec, a global manufacturer of outdoor electrical equipment, to bring next-generation metering solutions to the marine and leisure industries.
This collaboration marks a significant step forward in modernising electricity and water service management for marina and holiday park operators. By combining Rolec’s industry-leading infrastructure with Metpow’s advanced LoRaWAN-enabled smart metering technology, the partnership aims to deliver a seamless, fully integrated solution that provides operators with complete control over their utilities while enhancing efficiency and transparency for guests.
A New Era for Utility Management
The Rolec powered-by Metpow system is designed to give site operators real-time insight and control over electricity and water usage, reducing costs, improving efficiency, and streamlining administration. The wireless LoRaWAN technology ensures robust, long-range connectivity, removing the need for Wi-Fi or 4G, making it ideal for remote and outdoor environments.
“This partnership represents an exciting opportunity to bring cutting-edge wireless utility management to the marine and leisure industries. By integrating Metpow’s LoRaWAN-enabled metering technology with Rolec’s trusted infrastructure, we’re empowering operators with the control and insights they need to streamline operations, enhance customer satisfaction, and future-proof their sites.”
Ed Jones, CEO & Co-Founder of Metpow
How It Works
The system provides marina and holiday park operators with a powerful, all-in-one platform that enables:
Automated metering & billing – Guests pay only for what they use via the Metpow app, reducing admin for operators.
Remote monitoring & real-time alerts – Operators can track consumption and receive instant notifications about abnormal usage.
Usage limits & efficiency controls – Managers can set consumption thresholds to prevent excessive use and optimise operations.
Wireless connectivity without Wi-Fi or 4G – Reliable performance in remote or challenging environments.
The user-friendly guest app simplifies the customer experience by offering real-time consumption tracking, instant payments, and virtual wallet integration, making it easy for international visitors to manage their usage.
A Focus on Sustainability
The Metpow-powered solution also supports responsible resource management by making utility consumption transparent. Early adopters have already reported notable reductions in guest energy consumption, demonstrating how small behavioural changes can lead to significant long-term efficiency gains.
“Sustainability drives our approach, providing intelligent hardware and software solutions that help operators reduce waste, optimise resource management, and support responsible consumption. By combining Rolec’s trusted hardware with Metpow’s formidable software solution, this advanced system gives site managers greater control over their utilities and services, improving efficiency and curbing operational costs, which is essential for the future of these industries.”
Holly Brown, Commercial Director at Rolec
What’s Next?
The Rolec & Metpow solution is now live with installations and operator training already in progress ahead of the summer season. Future enhancements will include expanded platform features to further improve efficiency and usability for site operators.
