Overview
• 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)

Data from smart meters
• 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

Implications for DUoS charges
• 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
