Smart meters. If you agree to have a smart meter installed, we will arrange a convenient appointment for the installation. If we or our agent are not let into your property for the appointment, we may charge you the costs of that visit, unless you gave us at least 48 hours' notice of cancellation. If you had a smart meter installed by your previous supplier we will treat it as a traditional credit meter until such time as we notify you that we are able to utilise its smart functionality. If the smart meter is operating in prepayment mode and you wish to continue on a prepayment tariff then we may replace your smart prepayment meter with a traditional prepayment meter.

If you repeatedly refuse to allow us to install a Smart Meter, you may not be eligible for our full range of products and services, which may include specific Smart Meter tariffs which may be cheaper.
Smart meters. Within the scope of the MAtchUP, 606 smart meters (for residential) and 9 smart control power quality meters (for public buildings) will be deployed, enabling the development of Energy services to customers, like dynamic electricity data platform and provision of data sets from energy meters in a standardized format. This data will be aggregated at various scales, possibly from individual to building or district scales. To complement available data, supply of complementary standardized aggregated data, supply of contextual data and integration into the urban data platform.
Smart meters. Single Phase & Three Phase whole current smart meters shall comply with IS 16444 (latest version). Three Phase CT operated meter shall comply IS 16444: Part 2. The contractor has to furnish valid BIS certification before supply of meters. After meter installation, customer identification no., meter ID, its hardware & software configuration, name plate details, make, type i.e. 1 Phase or 3 Phase shall be updated in DCU/HES/MDM. The information would also be updated on the portal/app for providing information to consumers. The Basic Features of Smart Meter shall be:

Smart meters. Smart meters enable various actors of the electricity chain getting information about production and consumption at each grid connection point. They help the final consumer which can also be a small producer to be aware of its consumption/production patterns, they allow suppliers (often the consumer’s BRP) to schedule the planned consumption more accurately and they provide the DSO with a better overview of the production and demand and to detect grid faults. TSOs also have an interest in being forwarded the aggregated data from smart meters. As mentioned in section 2.2, smart metering is an essential enabler of DR. This is especially true in the case of aggregated DR. Indeed, to offer flexibility services of a reasonable size, aggregators can mobilise a large pool of small-sized flexibility resources and each needs to be equipped with a smart meter. Since 2006, a growing body of legal provisions on the deployment of smart meters in the EU has been adopted [93]. In the 2009 E-Directive, a target for the deployment of smart meters was set to EU MSs. They had to conduct by September 2012 a cost-benefit assessment of the deployment of “intelligent metering systems” in their countries. If positive, then at least 80% of the consumers had to be equipped with a smart meter by 2020 [94]. Despite this target, a 2020 report for the European Commission has shown that as of 2018, only “34% of all electricity metering points were equipped with a smart meter” in the EU-28 [95]. The authors estimate that the threshold of 80% of the connected customers equipped with a smart meter in the EU will not be reached before 2024 at least, possibly later [96]. This report as well as another more recent report show that the level of deployment varies strongly between countries, with some having reached 100% long ago and others only starting [97]. Such difference in deployment should be overcome as smart meters are an important means to facilitate the energy transition at the least possible cost, it is therefore crucial to follow up on the rapid deployment of smart meters that are compatible with the access rules of the flexibility markets. The 2019 E-Directive maintains a focus on smart meters, although the relevant provision was slightly altered [98]. Moreover, the 2019 E-Directive now also regulates the deployment of smart meters [99]. First, the directive defines a “smart metering system” as: an electronic system that is capable of measuring electricity fed into the grid or elec...
Smart meters. Smart meters are defined in the 1989 Electricity Act as meters that can send and receive information through an external electronic communication network [192]. By contrast to the definition in EU law (see section 3.2.1 above), it does not refer to the possibility of remote control. Apart from this, the 1989 Electricity Act enables licenced electricity suppliers to provide “a smart meter communication service”[193], although there are some exemption to the license obligation. See for more detail SMILE deliverable D7.3 [194]. On 31 December 2020, there were 23.6 million smart meters in homes and small businesses in Great Britain [195]. This figure represents 42% of all meters in Great Britain [196]. The earlier mentioned Energy White Paper stated that it remains the UK’s ambition “to achieve market-wide rollout of smart meters as soon as practicable”, although without setting an end date [ 197 ]. To accelerate this deployment, Ofgem is setting new rules for suppliers [198]. Until 30 June 2021, suppliers were obliged to take ‘all reasonable steps’ to rollout smart meters. From July 2021, suppliers will have to comply with binding annual installation targets. “Failure to achieve the annual installation targets will be a breach of a supplier’s licence”. In addition to accelerating and better controlling the rollout of smart meters, Ofgem has also decided in April 2021 to extend the deployment of half-hourly settled smart meters to the market, “including for domestic customers for whom it was optional until now”[ 199 ]. It aims at achieving the full deployment of these advanced smart meters by October 2025 [200]. By end 2020, only 1.3 out of the
Smart meters. Danish law already required DSOs in 2013 to install smart meters at all consumption points by end of 2020, with the capacity to measure electricity injection to and withdrawal from the grid every 15 minutes [279]. The regime for smart meters is now included in a Ministerial Decree of January 2019 [280]. It confirmed the 2020 target and the 15-minute timescale and developed the applicable regime in more detail. This regime complies with the EU law definition of smart meters and with the required imbalance settlement period of 15 minutes as explained earlier in section 3.2.1. Yet, for the moment, system operators have implemented an hourly settlement model (‘flexafregning’) proposed to all consumers [281], but not a 15-minute one. By end of 2020, close to 100% of the Danish consumers were equipped with a smart meter [282]. As a result, Danish suppliers can propose various types of contracts that can be organised in two categories: hourly or quarterly settled [283]. The first category therefore refers to dynamic contracts following the evolution of market prices [284]. This is made possible by the large scale introduction and use of smart meters. This successful deployment also enables market parties to make use of flexibility resources connected to the distribution system, amongst which energy storage and the activities like DR and aggregation.
