Since 2012, the
Commission is
increasingly
collecting and
analysing data
about:
SG projects
SG laboratories
SG actors
Roll out SM
Consumer SM's
acceptability
Further developing

Commission COM(2014) 356 Benchmarking Report on Smart Metering

• 17 (+2) Member States have already

rolled-out electricity smart meters or
are proceeding with their plans,
amounting ca. 250 million meters and
about €45 billion of investments:
o Granular metering data for new energy
services
o Data protection and security
considerations

• Different data management models

are driven by national retail market
structures
o Independent data hub (UK), data hub
under the TSO (Nordic countries), data
service platform (AT), etc.
o DSOs are involved in data handling in
most MS

Large scale roll-out

by 2020
at least 80% by 2020

Benchmarking - positive evolution since the benchmarking study in 2014

- All 17 MS plan to provide reading directly to consumers
(USB, web, etc.)
- 14 MS frequent update readings (85% from EU)
- 12 MS support advance tariff systems
- Majority MS intents to roll-out standardised interfaces,
but not improve interoperability

Current views and the way forward

 New legislative framework adopted on 30 November 2016 to include a wider

views/benefits towards the energy sector's digitalisation and set roles:
o Focus on metering and consumption data for new services
o Consumer 's right to have smart meters
o Independently of the data management model, set EU requirements on
non-discriminatory, easy, timely access to data
o Clarify issues such as costs for sharing data, common data format and
procedures.
o Certification and authorization of party responsible for data management
by Member States and needs for compliance officers
 Analysis of consumer issues (e.g. benefits, satisfaction, engagement) just
launched. Expected results available at the end of 2017
 Commission to assess progress of roll-out and produce a new benchmark
report in 2018
