1. Rollout of Non-Residential Smart Meters in the UK
The report discusses the economics of introducing smart metering technology to the non-
residential sector in the UK, including the total market at the macro level and the cost/benefit
analysis at an individual customer site level. The objective is to give suppliers and market
participants an understanding of the scale of the challenge and to enable them to invest in the
technology with confidence.
Features and benefits
 Facilitate business planning through a clear understanding of the size and timing of the
smart metering challenge in the non-residential sector.
 Define your medium- to long-term investment requirements by taking into account the
size and composition of your customer base.
 Understand, at a customer site level, the drivers of the costs and benefits of installing a
smart meter for different customer profiles.
 Understand the pricing options for different customer categories, enabling efficient
sharing of the economic benefits of smart meters.
 Identify the critical success factors for a successful and efficient rollout of smart meters
across your customer base.
Highlights
There are almost 4 million non-residential electricity and gas customers in the UK who are
covered by the government mandate to install a smart or advanced meter over the next few years.
It is suppliers’ responsibility to drive customer take-up, although they will need to rely on
"carrots" rather than "sticks" in doing so.
Up to 95% of eligible non-residential sites are expected to have a smart meter installed by 2020.
This represents an investment commitment of more than £500m, to be contested by equipment
vendors and meter installation and IT services contractors. Some 80% of those funds are likely to
be spent in the four years between 2014 and 2017.
With the new smart metering technology, most non-residential customers will be able to realize
substantial cost benefits through a reduction in their energy spend. More benefits will be
available for electricity customers by shifting some consumption to off-peak times of day,
provided that suppliers offer tariffs incentivizing them to do so.
Your key questions answered
 How many smart meter installations should I plan for, and how much are they going to
cost, given my projected customer base?

2.  How should I time the rollout across my customer base: wait until there is more certainty
in later years, get an early start or build up an even pace?
 Which of my customer sites should I target first, based on the cost/benefit balance?
 Which levers can I engage to minimize the deployment costs and maximize the ongoing
benefits?
 Which pricing mechanisms should I offer customers with a smart meter, to maximize the
benefits to them and me? Can I recoup the investment?
