As the climate emergency intensifies, and energy demand continues to increase, not only does the source of our energy matter but how we consume it. A number of measures can be deployed by local governments to address energy demand, including greater digitalization through the use of smart grids and smart meters.
Smart meters function by combining metering and communication technologies, measuring resource consumption and then displaying this data, either through energy displays located in buildings or via web-based information portals, as real-time information. This information can be used as a decision-making input for the more deliberate and smart use of energy, with the potential for improving energy system flexibility and decreasing both the power supply-demand gap and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Smart meters can be applied either in the residential, industrial, commercial or public sectors. For a successful implementation, they must be accompanied by proper regulation, mobilization of main energy players, behavioral changes and informational campaigns to increase consumer’s awareness and acceptance.
