Response to Prospectus Consultation to the Smart Metering Implementation, UK
Posted by: | CommentsOfgem have released their Response to Prospectus Consultation to the UK’s Smart Metering Implementation. Last July, DECC and Ofgem published the Smart Metering Prospectus – setting out proposals on the key elements of a smart metering rollout and provided a basis to test those proposals and reach conclusions. This document sets out the conclusions. The conclusions cover areas as wide ranging as how the smart metering rollout will be organised and regulated, its speed, the technical specifications of meters and communications equipment, the role and establishment of the central body that will deal with communications to and from meters and the consumer experience that is so central to a successful rollout.
European Smart Metering Forum & Smart Metering Update
Posted by: | CommentsA European Smart Metering Forum along with a Smart Metering Update is scheduled for 21st & 22nd June 2011 in London, UK. Taking place over two days, the event will bring together senior decision makers from across the continent to discuss the smart metering future.
European Smart Metering Forum
The Third Energy Package provides for smart meters to be rolled out to 80% of consumers across the EU by 2020, and 100% by 2022. The scale of this roll-out will provide a number of key challenges and opportunities for electricity network operators, energy retailers and the metering industry. This one-day event will examine the major developments in metering across the EU.
Smart Metering Update
Last year’s event provided a forum for expert analysis of the smart metering programme thus far, with industry leaders and regulators outlining their aims for the coming year. At this year’s conference we will address the questions left unanswered by the upcoming response to the prospectus consultation alongside the ongoing discussions around the DCC, consumer engagement and implementing the roll out.
