SMi’s Meter Asset Management and Operations conference, taking place on 23-24 June 2014 in London, will feature key players from all elements of the smart meter programme sharing developments in order to facilitate a smooth roll-out. The two-day conference programme will also feature case studies provided by an array of European utilities detailing the progress of their own smart meter roll out programmes including National Grid, EDF Energy, British Gas, E.ON, Fortum and RWE npower.
London (PRWEB UK) 8 June 2014
Utilities across Europe face the prospect of meeting the EU’s goal of installing smart meters for 80% of consumers by 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. 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 and Operations conference will feature an array of case studies from leading European utilities detailing the progress of their own smart meter roll out programmes. The two-day programme 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.
Speaker Panel includes:· Eric Fowler, Head of Commercial and Regulatory Affairs, National Grid
· Vickie Gibson, Managing Director, Energy Assets
· Alan Doody, Head of Asset Management, British Gas
· Dr. Thomas Perry, Meter Operations Manager, E.ON
