Roll-out of Smart Metering the key for success Manuel Sánchez, PhD Team Leader Smart Grids European Commission, DG ENER SMARTUTILITIES SCANDINAVIA 2013 Stockholm, 17 April 2013
Smart Grids Task Force 2012-2013 http://ec.europa.eu/energy/gas_electricity/smartgrids/taskforce_en.htm EG1: Standards Validation of M/490 work programme 1st and 2 nd set of standards Interoperability and Conformance testing map Coordination with other mandates EG2: Data Protection and Security DPIA template Cyber security assessment framework Consultation minimum security requirements EG3: Regulation Identification of data handling options Implications for regulatory framework EG4: Infrastructure PCI identification process Organisation of structures and procedures EG5: Industrial Policy Identification of conditions for investment and speeding up technology deployment
Smart Grids projects: Growing number: deployment, demonstration/pilots, R&D Participants: Grid operators, service providers, etc. Wide scope: smart meters, super grid, integrated systems, etc. Inventory of Smart Grid projects in Europe available since 2011: The goal is to monitor the developments on the field and create a database of project experiences and lessons learned To be updated anually http://ses.jrc.ec.europa.eu
Investments in R&D&demo SG-projects
6 Ways Smart Meters Benefit Consumers Savings more accurate and frequent consumption data demonstrably help consumers reduce their consumption and save money Efficiency more detailed consumption measurements help consumers identify opportunities for energy efficiency improvements Innovative Services smart meters are indispensable for smart home solutions/home automation, reducing energy costs Consumer Empowerment Sustainability Distribution System Efficiency switching suppliers, modifying contractual terms, etc. becomes easier, faster and cheaper use of local renewable sources and storage potential (microgrids), electromobility become easier management of the distribution systems becomes cheaper and more effective, leading to lower distribution costs 5
Directives 2009/72/CE 2009/73/CE 13 July 2009 Annex I.2 Legal basis for the roll-out MSs shall ensure the implementation of intelligent metering systems that shall assist the active participation of consumers in the energy supply market. May be subject to an economic assessment of long-term costs and benefits by 03.09.2012. MSs shall prepare a timetable with a target of up to ten years for the implementation of intelligent metering systems. When is assessed positively, the provision for electricity states that at least 80% of consumers shall be equipped with intelligent metering systems by 2020
EC Recommendation to prepare the roll-out http://eur-lex.europa.eu/lexuriserv/lexuriserv.do?uri=celex:32012h0148:en:not http://ses.jrc.ec.europa.eu/
10 Common Minimum Functionalities MS are encouraged to go beyond these common minimum functionalities in their CBA scenarios. Dr. Manuel Sánchez Jiménez European Commission manuel.sanchez jimenez@ec.europa.eu 8/12

Successful roll-out of smart metering is key The roll-out of smart metering systems calls for a collaborative approach of policy-makers, industry and regulators for consumers' benefit. Successful roll-out of smart meters opens doors to win-win situation: Security of supply through better local balancing Involvement of consumers in the market (micro-generation, etc.) Empowerment of consumers through demand response => savings Cost-efficiencies for DSOs and suppliers and new business opportunities for third parties Success depends on criteria decided largely by Member States: Smart Meters functionalities (to include those benefiting also consumers, not just DSOs as owners/installers of smart meters) Retail market competition to breed innovative solutions and lower costs Commission presently analysing CBAs prepared by Member States Assessment and benchmarking under way > Benchmarking report planned for 2013 10
