Standardization, interoperability, customer engagement and the European Union 20-20-20 goals are only some of the issues that must be at the top of a utility company's agenda. The very way energy is generated, delivered and consumed is now being reinvented, with novel business models on the horizon. With the Metering and Grid developments that are now driving major transformations, the industry makes no mistake in labelling it the “Smart Revolution”.

But given the sheer size and complexity of the programmes and its numerous possibilities, the Smart Meters roll-out and subsequent Smart Grids implementation are all but following a one size fits all roadmap. On the contrary, each and every market is ultimately playing by its own, very peculiar rules. Therefore, region specific know-how has never been such a key asset to lead in Smart.

Italy, France, Spain and Portugal are well ahead. But with nations such as Turkey, Greece, Malta, Croatia, Slovenia and all the other Southern Estates set to go Smart, the region as a whole will eventually be in full swing as a marketplace.

Developed by popular demand, the Smart Metering Southern Europe Summit unites key utilities, system operators and regulators to showcase their successful Smart Meters and Grids projects and point out where the action is heading to next. Packed with market insights and in depth country-by-country case studies, a unique event to benchmark, network and learn how to make your Smart Revolution happen.
