UK metering market

• The most liberalized metering market in the world

• Many players with differing objectives

• Perhaps a model for the rest of Europe?

The market has been in stalemate for several years, but signs of change now…

Non-traditional activities

• Promoting the benefits of advanced/smart metering– Better Billing– Flexible pre-payment– Customer transfer options– Energy efficiency– Demand response – load transfer– Integration renewables

• These activities involve liaison with different organisations –– Energy efficiency agencies– Renewable energy bodies– Fuel poverty lobbyists – EC Joint Research Centre

• BEAMA and the JRC organised a recent seminar on the role of metering at a European level for energy efficiency, demand response and renewables.

ESCO Directive• Article 13 of this draft directive calls for accurate

and timely billing for all metering points• Would transform the market for advanced

metering in most EU states• Is being met with opposition by the energy

supplier lobby• There is no European based metering lobby• The Directive drafted and supported by the EC

JRC

Metering related projects

• BEAMAenergy manages 4 research projects

• Most metering related– Metering of embedded generation sites - DTI– Measurement of the energy efficiency benefits

of smart metering – Carbon Trust– HH metering of embedded generation

DTI Project – metering and monitoring of embedded generation

• Working with EdF, Good Energy, Npower and Elster, EA Technology

• 200 sites being monitored – microCHP– Photovoltaic– Micro-wind– Micro -hydro

• Measuring half hour import/export and generation• Gathering data for NHH profiling of exports• Objective is to establish the need for full half hour

metering of these sites
