CALVIN SMARTMETER ROLL-OUT

Framework facility to support the roll-out of portfolios of smart gas and electricity meters for a number of energy suppliers in Great Britain.

The installation of smart meters and the development of remote control capabilities will allow remote readings, near real-time consumption information and better management of the network. The project aims at improving efficiency of the gas and electricity distribution systems as well as customer information and awareness.

The project comprises the installation of smart meters. Based on technical characteristics of the project it is unlikely that environmental impact assessment (EIA) will be required. The main potential impact on the environment is from the disposal of the old meters.
