>Smart metering case studies
[11:00-12:30]
In 2009, smart metering became a hot topic: references to smart metering were included in several legislative acts, many pilot projects were designed and launched and new products and players came to the market. However, some large-scale experiences with smart metering existed already. The 3 case studies presented in this session review these experiences in order to draw some lessons for the future.

[14:00-15:30]
In order to maximize the benefits resulting from the deployment of smart metering, the EU needs a comprehensive policy taking into account several factors, such as the achievement of the Internal Energy Market, 2020 goals, the role of energy and ICT in economic recovery, etc. In this session the major stakeholders express their views about the main features of such policy.
