drivers behind it and the impact it is having
- The Strategy Focus section considers the challenges faced by utilities
migrating to smart metering and how to evaluate the costs and benefits
- The Technology Focus section looks at the networking and integration that
are needed to support a smart metering infrastructure

Report Highlights
Smart metering has evolved from traditional Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) and
the new technology offers the potential to benefit the entire value chain of
energy stakeholders. Nevertheless, although driven by a variety of legislative
and commercial factors, success will depend on effective regulation and
guidance from governments.
Migrating to smart metering is being pushed by legislation in many countries.
Nevertheless, it requires a significant overhaul of existing systems.
Understanding how to develop a business case and evaluate the costs and
benefits of migration is crucial if the most efficient solution is to be found.
The migration to smart metering will require investment in a variety of
technologies; these will need to be networked and integrated together in order
to create the infrastructure to support smart metering.
