I’ve helped on SMIP since its very beginning, leading the device management team to rise continuously the level of the service in terms of features and performance.
Smart Metering Implementation Programme is an energy-industry-led program aiming to roll out approximately 53 million smart electricity and gas meters to domestic properties and non-domestic sites in Great Britain. The SMIP seeks to provide consumers with “real-time” information on their energy consumption to help them:
- control and manage their energy use;
- save money and reduce carbon emissions;
- bring an end to estimated billing; and
- make informed purchasing decisions minimizing the barriers to switching between suppliers.
It also aims to support Great Britain’s transition to a low-carbon economy and meet some of the challenges in ensuring an affordable, secure and sustainable energy supply.
