Smart meters. We may contact you at any time to offer you a Smart meter. We will arrange an appointment with you for the installation of this. If you repeatedly refuse to allow us to install a Smart Meter, you may not be eligible for our full range of products and services, which may include specific Smart Meter tariffs which may be cheaper.

Smart meters. Single phase whole current Smart Meters shall comply with technical specifications as provided in Annexure – A, three phase whole current Single Smart Meters shall comply with technical specifications as provided in Annexure – B, three phase CT operated smart meters shall comply with technical specifications as provided in Annexure – C. The AMISP has to furnish valid BIS certification before the supply of meters. e. 1 Phase or 3 Phase shall be updated in the system. The information would also be updated on the consumer portal and app for providing information to consumers. Reference, the Smart Meter communication, it is envisaged that plug and play type communication modules shall be deployed in the smart meter, for any given communication technology. These modules shall be field- deployable, with corresponding communication interface modules being used in the DCU/Gateway or BTS of wide area network in accordance with the details provided in Annexure E. The Network Interface Card (NIC) / Communication Module should be integrated with at least 3 (three) makes of meters in India to enable the respective meters to seamlessly integrate with proposed HES and/or MDM thus enabling interoperability of the system. In future, it would be AMISP’s responsibility to integrate new meter in consultation with [Utility] or facilitate integration of other application as per the approach paper submitted under the Project Implementation Plan.

Smart meters. Smart meters are defined in the 1989 Electricity Act as meters that can send and receive information through an external electronic communication network [192]. By contrast to the definition in EU law (see section 3.2.1 above), it does not refer to the possibility of remote control. Apart from this, the 1989 Electricity Act enables licenced electricity suppliers to provide “a smart meter communication service”[193], although there are some exemption to the license obligation. See for more detail SMILE deliverable D7.3 [194]. On 31 December 2020, there were 23.6 million smart meters in homes and small businesses in Great Britain [195]. This figure represents 42% of all meters in Great Britain [196]. The earlier mentioned Energy White Paper stated that it remains the UK’s ambition “to achieve market-wide rollout of smart meters as soon as practicable”, although without setting an end date [ 197 ]. To accelerate this deployment, Ofgem is setting new rules for suppliers [198]. Until 30 June 2021, suppliers were obliged to take ‘all reasonable steps’ to rollout smart meters. From July 2021, suppliers will have to comply with binding annual installation targets. “Failure to achieve the annual installation targets will be a breach of a supplier’s licence”. In addition to accelerating and better controlling the rollout of smart meters, Ofgem has also decided in April 2021 to extend the deployment of half-hourly settled smart meters to the market, “including for domestic customers for whom it was optional until now”[ 199 ]. It aims at achieving the full deployment of these advanced smart meters by October 2025 [200]. By end 2020, only 1.3 out of the

Smart meters. Danish law already required DSOs in 2013 to install smart meters at all consumption points by end of 2020, with the capacity to measure electricity injection to and withdrawal from the grid every 15 minutes [279]. The regime for smart meters is now included in a Ministerial Decree of January 2019 [280]. It confirmed the 2020 target and the 15-minute timescale and developed the applicable regime in more detail. This regime complies with the EU law definition of smart meters and with the required imbalance settlement period of 15 minutes as explained earlier in section 3.2.1. Yet, for the moment, system operators have implemented an hourly settlement model (‘flexafregning’) proposed to all consumers [281], but not a 15-minute one. By end of 2020, close to 100% of the Danish consumers were equipped with a smart meter [282]. As a result, Danish suppliers can propose various types of contracts that can be organised in two categories: hourly or quarterly settled [283]. The first category therefore refers to dynamic contracts following the evolution of market prices [284]. This is made possible by the large scale introduction and use of smart meters. This successful deployment also enables market parties to make use of flexibility resources connected to the distribution system, amongst which energy storage and the activities like DR and aggregation.

Smart meters. Single Phase & Three Phase whole current smart meters shall comply with IS 16444 (latest version). Three Phase CT operated meter shall comply IS 16444: Part 2. The contractor has to furnish valid BIS certification before supply of meters. After meter installation, customer identification no., meter ID, its hardware & software configuration, name plate details, make, type i.e. 1 Phase or 3 Phase shall be updated in DCU/HES/MDM. The information would also be updated on the portal/app for providing information to consumers. The Basic Features of Smart Meter shall be: a. Measurement of electrical energy parameters b. Bidirectional Communication c. Integrated Load limiting switch

Smart meters. 25 . 1 Further details on smart meters can be found on our website, along with our smart meter installati on code of practice. 25 . 2 You must take care of the s mart meter ( and any IHD) in accordance with your obligations regarding meters und er section 14 ( meters). 25 . 3 Any IHD is subject to the rules on meters set out in section 14 ( meters), and you should leave them in the property i f you move house. 25 . 4 W here a smart meter is installed at the property, you consent to us managing your energy account remotely in accordance with the privac y notice published on our website. This includes remotely reading the meter, remotely switching f rom credit to prepayment, remotely monitoring the energy supply, and remotely cutting- off the supply ( where we are entitled to do so under the contract, our supply l icence or legislation) . 25 . 5 The information available on the IHD or via our website may not perfectly match the bill ( as i t doesn’ t contain any discounts, f r iendly credit etc ) . 25 . 6 Some of our price plans are dependent on us accessing half - hourly data f rom your meter. I f you have selected one of these pric e plans, then you will have agreed to us accessing half - hourly data as part of your application. You can request that we stop collecting half - hourly data at any t ime, by contacting us as described in section 29 ( communications). However, i f you do this, then we will have to change your price plan to our cheapest available variable price tariff that does not require half - hourly data.

Smart meters. ERSE published in May 2021 a regulation providing that system operators are responsible for buying and installing smart metering equipment [ 365 ]. These meters have to comply with Ordinance 231/2013 [366]. This Ordinance provides for the technical requirements and functions of smart meters and the rules for information sharing and billing [367]. It also determines the process for the prior cost- benefit analysis as required in EU law [368]. According to article 2 (c), a smart meter is an equipment measuring the electricity flow and used to manage the related data in order to favour an active participation of the consumer to the electricity supply market. This definition therefore does not only rely on the technical capability of the smart meter but also on its aim: allowing the involvement of consumers in the electricity system. The technical requirements are detailed in annex I of the ordinance and specify that smart meters must realise a 15-minute measurement at least [369]. If all smart meters are indeed deployed with a 15-minute measuring and settlement capability, then, as explained earlier in the UK section, this would allow a wide use of distributed flexibility resources [370]. The first cost-benefit analysis realised in Portugal in order to assess the opportunity of deploying smart meters was negative. However, the second cost-benefit analysis of 2015 provided some positive results and the deployment started shortly after [ 371 ]. By January 2021, more than 50% of all connection points in the country where equipped with a smart meter and the target for a full deployment is set at the end of 2024 [372].
