July, 2010 Snaps: Smart Metering in Europe
From the current issue of Beecham Snaps:
The EU has mandated that member states introduce smart metering in homes and businesses by 2020, to understand and monitor energy consumption with the aim of reducing usage, and ensure reliability of supply.
Beecham Research attended Synergy’s recent conference in London on Smart Metering in the UK and Ireland. This event focused on the business case and consumer acceptance, compared with the previous year which focused more on technology. Smart metering is likely to be mandated for every home and business in the country, hence gaining consumer confidence and providing incentives for their cooperation is essential for success.
As of 2010 smart metering in Europe is at a crossroads, with basic functional issues and requirements agreed, but with detailed implementation issues still under consideration.
