TRANSCRIPT
Dynamic model for optimization of costs and benefits of smart metering
Backgrounds for dynamic modelling of smart meter deployment
Introduction to the model
Split incentive: investments by metering operator provides benefits reaped by consumers
Projected capital and operational expenses exceed the remuneration for metering services in most cases (emphasis on cost reduction of smart metering)
Most calculations are based on ‘now or never’ and ‘all or nothing’ scenarios
Calculations are based on snapshot whereas implementation and deployment take place in
dynamic environment
Current models are based on ‘Incremental innovation’
Technical developments enable ‘semi-radical innovation’
Identical business model

Radical innovation
Include strategic fit adjusted to local parameters and legal framework (including remuneration for regulated services)
Including semi-radical innovation based on a technology roadmap with 10 year horizon
Include appropriateness of communication technologies (Quality of service and costs)
Include external costs (i.e. CO2 reduction)
Regulatory framework determines boundaries of strategic fit
Strategic fit itself includes:◦ Future proof◦ Interoperability◦ Number of suppliers◦ Standards◦ Geographical applicabilityWeights assigned to the various factors
determine the strategic fit.

Average CO2 per dwelling in EU is about 3 tons annually (with significant variations accross EU)
Based on EUR 17 / ton this represents a value of over EUR 50,- annually
With projected CO2 reduction of 20 % the benefits add up to over EUR 10,- annually per dwelling
How can smart meters contribute to reaping these potential benefits?
CO2 abatement at the demand side is cost effective providing
opportunities for smart metering

Direct savings to consumer (reduced energy bill due to savings)
CO2 benefits to enabling technology (smart meters)
Meter operators should be allocated tradable CO2 certificates for abatement facilitated by
them
