Network with confirmed attendees from Northern Powergrid, British Gas, Anglian Water and more | Meter Asset Management and Operations, 23-24 June 2014, London, UK
London (PRWEB UK) 11 May 2014 -- Utilities across Europe face the prospect of meeting the EU’s goal of installing smart meters for 80% of consumers by the end of 2020. 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. In the UK, the smart meter roll out will affect every home and small business, with the replacement of around 53 million gas and electricity meters in less than a decade. 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 or meter asset management companies, finding themselves mired in this transitional phase SMi’s Meter Asset Management and Operations conference 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.
