European Smart Metering Alliance (ESMA)

The European Smart Metering Alliance (ESMA) was formed by a number of interested organizations to provide information about smart metering for all kinds of people and organisations. Originally supported by the Intelligent Energy - Europe (IEE) Programme this project has now concluded but the tools developed during the project are available on the IEE website.

ESMA has defined and spread best practice in smart metering across European member states and sought to maximise the resulting energy savings. ESMA supports Article 13 of the Energy End-Use Efficiency and ESCO Directive. The project produced reports on key aspects of smart metering, a Best Practice Guide, a Financial Toolkit and Annual Report. In addition, an Alliance was formed that brought together all key stakeholders and gave them a forum to deal with the issues arising from the introduction of smart metering. Smart metering covers a variety of functions made possible by electronic meters and communications networks. They provide benefits to utilities through better operation and reduced costs. They also make it possible for final customers to get more information about their energy usage. Trials have shown that this can reduce consumption. ESMA aimed to ensure that energy reduction will be maximised through the introduction of smart metering.
