11. Non-traditional activities Promoting the benefits of advanced/smart metering –Better Billing –Flexible pre-payment –Customer transfer options –Energy efficiency –Demand response – load transfer –Integration renewables

12. These activities involve liaison with different organisations – –Energy efficiency agencies –Renewable energy bodies –Fuel poverty lobbyists –EC Joint Research Centre BEAMA and the JRC organised a recent seminar on the role of metering at a European level for energy efficiency, demand response and renewables.

13. ESCO Directive Article 13 of this draft directive calls for accurate and timely billing for all metering points Would transform the market for advanced metering in most EU states Is being met with opposition by the energy supplier lobby There is no European based metering lobby The Directive drafted and supported by the EC JRC

14. Metering related projects BEAMAenergy manages 4 research projects Most metering related –Metering of embedded generation sites - DTI –Measurement of the energy efficiency benefits of smart metering – Carbon Trust –HH metering of embedded generation
