Smart metering update

1. Smart metering update 4 August 2011 Andrew Neves 1 | Energy Networks Association - DCMF

2. Overview 4 August 2011 2 | Energy Networks Association – DCMF • Government is pushing smart metering as a key part of its climate change policy • Department of Environment and Climate Change (DECC) is leading, and has established large team in Whitehall • Many work groups and sub-groups have been established, including a ‘hot house’ to finalise meter specifications • Both Energy Retail Association (ERA) and Energy Networks Association (ENA) are very active • Roll out by 2014 for profile class 5-8 customers, and 2020 for remaining non half-hourly customers • 50 million meters to be replaced (gas and electricity)

4. Data from smart meters 4 August 2011 4 | Energy Networks Association – DCMF Data Communications Company (DCC) will be established to communicate with all domestic smart meters on behalf of industry parties DCC will not have a monopoly for non-domestic meters Smart meters will measure and hold ‘period consumption’ Significant privacy issues around which parties see what granularity of consumption data Smart meters will provide many types of alerts (e.g. power lost, terminal cover open, maximum demand exceeded, etc.) Strict rules (as yet unspecified) will govern which parties can program meters or receive alerts and data

5. Implications for DUoS charges 4 August 2011 5 | Energy Networks Association – DCMF Supplier tariffs likely to become more diverse and dynamic This may make ‘de-linking’ increasingly attractive? Profile class 5-8 customers will be early movers to smart metering – see ‘P272’ and ‘DCP103’ Move from profiled NHH data to ‘real’ profiles brings potential for more focused DUoS price signals Site-level billing of all DUoS may be feasible – but very significant issues surround this Tony McEntee floated some ideas at the last meeting DCMF should build on these and start debating options
