Research and Markets: Europe – Smart Grid Developments

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE–

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/lrnnq5/europe_smart
has announced the addition of the «Europe
– Smart Grid Developments – 2012″ report to their offering.

European countries have become major proponents of smart grid
infrastructure and smart metering. Countries in the region have
developed smart meter policies, in part overseen by the European
Commission requirements to meet goals set for 2020. The sector has been
stimulated by widespread regulatory measures affecting both regulated
and liberalised metering markets, as well as a significant reduction in
the cost of smart meter technologies and general moves towards
intelligent grids which contribute towards lower carbon emissions. Thus
Europe’s utility infrastructure is being upgraded with an intelligent IP
overlay allowing utilities to manage their networks more efficiently and
customers to manage their own energy use more effectively.

This report provides an overview on smart grids in Europe, including
analyses and information on deployments and regulatory policies.

Key Developments:

– Spain’s pilot projects a precursor to replacing 27 million meters by
2018;

– Estonia to move to complete smart meter system by early 2017;

– cost benefits for consumers a selling point in difficult economic
climate, over 300 smart grid projects underway in Europe despite
economic crisis;

– Ireland’s national smart metering programme enters second phase.
