The document discusses Britain's Smart Metering Implementation Programme. It aims to install 53 million smart meters across Great Britain for gas and electricity by 2020 to help meet EU carbon reduction targets. The Data Communications Company will play a role in connecting smart meters using various communication methods. The programme is a complex undertaking that will provide overall net benefits of £6.2 billion over 20 years through increased energy security, demand management, better billing and switching services, and other benefits. Challenges to overcome include security, resilience, accessibility and standards.

Editor's Notes
- DCC estimates between 3-4 million smart meters are now installed at a rate of 150-200k per month Last installs 12 months after R1.3 (April 2017)
- Long-Range Radio communications (LRR), which will be used by Arqiva in Scotland and the North of England. The LRR system uses infrastructure and technology similar to that already used for other important national communications networks, such as those for emergency services and keeping lifeboat stations connected. Communication towers communicate directly with Comms Hubs Remote areas reached using ‘Buddy Mode’ which enables messages to be transmitted via another communications hub There is provision within CSP’s ‘link budget’ to get radio signal from external to internal (to account for thick walls / foil backed insulation)
- The Arrival of Smart Meters at the White Cloth Gallery in Leeds, by Sir Peter Blake (who co-designed the sleeve of the Beatles ‘Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’)
- Innovations diffuse in the same way, over differing periods – rollout is scheduled to have occurred by 2020, but the Industry is already gearing up for what’s next 30 years for electricity and 25 years for telephones to reach 10% adoption but less than five years for tablet devices to achieve the 10% rate It took an additional 39 years for telephones to reach 40% penetration and another 15 before they became ubiquitous. Smart phones, on the other hand, accomplished a 40% penetration rate in just 10 years,
- Smart air-quality monitoring – Lamp posts and street cabinets will monitor air quality at different heights and locations, with data made available to the public. With IoT-enabled bikes and e-cargo bikes to make “last-mile” deliveries along the bus and bike only Manchester corridor. CityVerve will convert ‘flag and pole’ bus stops into safe places with location-based services, sensors/beacons, mobile apps and intelligent digital signage. a network of sensors positioned in parks, along commuter and school routes will track the progress of individuals and teams competing against each other for physical activity and fun. Smart Grid: (Northern Powergrid, British Gas, and Siemens – testing the impact of Solar PV, EV, & Smart Appliances on network - We also studied smart meter data from thousands of domestic customers, collecting valuable data on current and emerging customer load and generation profiles and used this to make recommendations to update industry network planning standards
- Accessibility (usability and availability) Standards and interoperability are the next fundamental challenge for the wider energy market if we’re to see widespread adoption
- - The cost of PV is decreasing fast, as is the rate of adoption, outpacing policies based on facilities with decades-long lifespan – value is now more important than contracts as it becomes ever easier to switch Flipper doesn’t take commission – it charges a subscription of £25 but only if you achieve savings of more than £50 The energy industry since de-regulation in 1998 – a gradual loss of control De-centralisation of energy production and supply An increasing role in for Third Party Intermediaries (Uswitch / Moneysupermarket etc) and providers of automated switching services (Flipper / Voltz) Energy companies are being forced to focus on value as government policy emphasises the need for increased liquidity in the marketplace
- Smart energy platforms – adoption is easier if it can be easily absorbed, and if there is a clear job to be done Infrastructure as an enabler of new services (Netflix, personal cloud applications, streaming services), and a threat to incumbents (Blockbuster, Nokia)
