Metering, Billing/CRM Europe 2014

With a series of new conference tracks covering renewable integration and storage solutions, a new specialist track on grid security and a new feature on smart cities.
Smart Metering represents the launch pad from which the smart energy revolution can enter the domestic life of millions. It forms the keystone of communication between utilities and the consumer and underpinning this vital link is effective ICT and data management. There remain key questions that need to be addressed in this still nascent industry, including questions of interoperability and openness, security of critical infrastructures, safeguarding individual privacy and developing sound principles for the commercial use of personal data.
