EC-TELECOM-UTILITIES Workshop

>27 May 2011, Brussels

In the context of the EU's climate change objectives for 2020 - to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20%, to increase the share of renewable energy to 20% and to make a 20% improvement in energy efficiency - the Commission is now looking closer at the ICT requirements for the bi-directional communications needs within smart energy grids and smart metering systems.
DG INFSO invited representatives of associations and private companies to a workshop organised on 27th May 2011. The goal was to bring together stakeholders from both telecom and utilities sectors to discuss the communications - both wired and wireless - requirements within the smart energy grids as well as the existing synergies between the existing infrastructures, and to review and advise on functionalities and framework conditions for an environmentally sustainable smart grid, and related costs/benefits.
