Meter Asset Management

Location: Holiday Inn Regents Park / London / United Kingdom

Utilities across Europe face the prospect of meeting the EU’s goal of installing smart meters for 80% of consumers by 2020 (European Commission, 2015). Whilst each country is meeting these goals within different time frames, many are in the same position as the UK and are in a crucial stage in the road towards full roll outs. Additionally, gas, electricity and some water suppliers face similar challenges in managing existing meter assets and planning for the roll out and maintenance of smart meters.

In order to combat the many challenges occurring within this transitional phase, significant amounts of investment must be injected into smart metering technology. Furthermore, concerns regarding logistics, asset churn and workforce are common whether it be by an energy supplier or a sub-contracted meter asset management company.

SMi is pleased to announce the return of its Meter Asset Management conference taking place on 22nd-23rd of June 2015 in London, UK.
