Mandated Smart Meters in EU by 2020 | Meter Asset Management, 20th - 21st June 2016, London, UK

London, United Kingdom, May 11, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Utilities across Europe face the prospect of meeting the EU's goal of installing smart meters for 80% of consumers by 2020. National plans for meeting this target vary considerably across the continent with Italy and Sweden having completed physical roll out without fully utilising smart meter functionality. Gas, electricity, and water suppliers face similar challenges in managing existing meter assets and where appropriate planning for the roll out and maintenance of smart meters.

With so many companies, whether they be the energy/water suppliers themselves or meter asset management companies, finding themselves mired in this transitional phase, SMi's Meter Asset Management conference, taking place on 20th - 21st June 2016 in London, will provide practical insight on managing the meter assets already held by utilities and planning for the burst of activity and sizeable workforce increase required to deliver smart meters into consumers' homes in a relatively short time frame.
