Mandated smart meters in EU by 2020 | Discover how leading Utilities across Europe are managing smart meter rollouts

Utilities across Europe face the prospect of meeting the EU's goal of installing smart meters for 80% of consumers by 2020. End Quote

(1888PressRelease) March 30, 2016 - National plans for meeting this target vary considerably across the continent with Italy and Sweden having completed physical roll out without fully utilising smart meter functionality. Gas, electricity, and water suppliers face similar challenges in managing existing meter assets and where appropriate planning for the roll out and maintenance of smart meters.

With so many companies, whether they be the energy/water suppliers themselves or meter asset management companies, finding themselves mired in this transitional phase, SMi's Meter Asset Management conference, taking place on 20th - 21st June 2016 in London, will provide practical insight on managing the meter assets already held by utilities and planning for the burst of activity and sizeable workforce increase required to deliver smart meters into consumers' homes in a relatively short time frame.

• Arjaan van den Born, Risk Manager, Stedin
• Colin Down, Senior Policy Manager, Smarter Metering, Ofgem
• Marcello Bondesan, Head of Energy Asset Development, HERA
• Paulo Pereira, Associate Director, EDP Distribuição
