PAGE 4 | | FACTS AND FIGURES driving standards: the european road to smart metering Exponential growth in smart metering installations is meters in 2019. As the smart metering market grows, expected in the next few years as countries such as the so will the need for standardization and interoperability. UK, Spain and France roll out the technology ahead of Within the EMEA region, standardization organizations the 2020 deadline. The 10th Berg Insight Report “Smart are among the main drivers of mass rollouts. Metering in Europe” forecasts 170 million installed 100 million 55 million 60 million 65 million 73 million 2012 2013 2014 2015 20 October 2005 2 June 2008 12 March 2009 13 July 2009 Mandate M/374: “European Council Fifteen leading companies in the Enactment of Mandate M/441: Directive 2009/72/EC of the 3rd Energy Mandate to CEN and CENELEC for European smart meter market establish “Standardization mandate to CEN, Package: The directive is aimed at standardization in the field of measuring ESMIG, the European Smart Metering CENELEC and ETSI in the field of introducing common rules for the instruments”.
