EU definition of Smart Grids A Smart Grid is an energy network that can cost efficiently integrate the behaviour and actions of all users connected to it - generators, consumers and those that do both in order to ensure efficient, sustainable power system with low losses and high levels of quality and security of supply and safety. Central & dispersed sources Seamless integration of new applications End user real time Information & participation Smart materials and power electronics Multi-directional flows Central & dispersed intelligence 7 7/28
Six High Level services Enabling the network to integrate users with new requirements Enhancing efficiency in day-to day grid operation Ensuring network security, system control and quality of supply Enabling better planning and future network investments Improving market functioning and customer service Enabling and encouraging stronger and more direct involvement of consumers in their energy usage and management 8/28
EU Policy Drivers for smart Grids Transition towards the low-carbon economy Guaranteeing high security, quality and economic efficiency of supply in a market environment Consumer empowerment - informed and engaged, i.e. interested and equipped to play an active role in the market - provided with choice (of suppliers, sources) and the possibility to exercise the choice - integrated in energy system so that they can not only consume but also supply energy 9/28

Ten Common Minimum Functionalities 19/28
Six Ways Smart Metering benefits consumers Energy Savings Energy Efficiency Innovative Services Consumer Empowerment Sustainability Distribution System Efficiency more accurate and frequent consumption data demonstrably help consumers reduce their consumption and save money more detailed consumption measurements help consumers identify opportunities for energy efficiency improvements smart meters are indispensable for smart home solutions/home automation, reducing energy costs switching suppliers, modifying contractual terms, etc. becomes easier, faster and cheaper use of local renewable sources and storage potential (microgrids), electromobility become easier management of the distribution systems becomes cheaper and more effective, leading to lower distribution costs 20/28

Successful roll-out of smart metering is key The roll-out of smart metering systems calls for a collaborative approach of policy-makers, industry and regulators for consumers' benefit. Successful roll-out of smart meters opens doors to win-win situation: Security of supply through better local balancing Involvement of consumers in the market (micro-generation, etc.) Empowerment of consumers through demand response => savings Cost-efficiencies for DSOs and suppliers and new business opportunities for third parties Success depends on criteria decided largely by Member States: Smart Meters functionalities (to include those benefiting also consumers, not just DSOs as owners/installers of smart meters) Retail market competition to breed innovative solutions and lower costs Commission preparing a benchmarking report of the roll-out 22/28
