Traditional, centralised energy sector is experiencing a seismic shift

Traditional, centralised energy sector is experiencing a seismic shift

Some 6500 utility professionals will gather in Amsterdam in October for the annual Metering, Billing/CRM Europe at what has become the largest industry conference and exhibition on the continent. “The traditional, centralised energy sector is experiencing a seismic shift in the way electricity is produced, managed and consumed,” says Metering Europe director Aida Mezit, “and increasing demand, security of supply and the growing concerns over climate change are pushing for developments of smart grid and energy efficiency behaviour.”

Metering Europe’s Mezit says to address these challenges an overhaul of electricity systems on an unprecedented scale is needed. She continues: “this overhaul must be accompanied by novel commercial and economic models, leaving behind structures and practices that have guided us for the past 100 years. In the midst of such changes, hosting an event that unties the whole energy community - European in nature but crossing the regional boundaries from Australia to Brazil - comes at no better time to challenge our preconceived views and inspire innovation and entrepreneurship.”

Key themes
Metering Europe will feature a conference programme of more than 200 expert speakers, open debates and specialised workshops addressing key themes such as:

- Smart metering rollout and forays into smart grid
- Consumer engagement programmes and evolving dynamics between energy consumer and provider
- Development of intelligent networks & power infrastructure across Europe
- Congestion and interconnection challenges, and the creation of a single electricity market
- New commercial models and regulatory mechanisms underpinning electricity system overhaul

The exhibition, the largest in the industry on the continent, will gather more than 320 solution providers under one roof, with the latest utility technology on display.

Important platform for collaboration and partnerships
Now in its 14th year, Metering Europe has provided an important platform for collaboration, dialogue and new partnerships between all key parties in the European electricity sector says the event’s director. She continues: “its main 2012 aim is to expand on its previous successes and deepen our understanding of what our energy future will look like: how technology, policy and markets will determine its huge potential, and why working from the ground up - via establishing the right policy, trialing technologies and opening markets to new entrants and business models - is the key to delivering a smart energy economy.”
