In addition to guidance and mentorship, Telia leveraged radio access network (RAN) technology from Ericsson, Ericsson Core Network and the IoT Accelerator management platform.Telia partnered with systems integrators (SI), ONE Nordic, Sagemcom and Landis+Gyr to connect meters with both NB-IoT and Cat-M1 radios.Change came in the form of cellular-enabled, Massive IoT, specifically Narrow Band (NB-IoT) and Cat-M1.Telia knew it had a tough challenge ahead - it needed to convince the largest power players, who were all-in on legacy methods of connectivity, that the smarter bet in the long-run was change.Telia wanted to disrupt the traditional market for connecting smart meters in a power grid to enable better efficiency and interoperability.Ostling.ġ Electricity, gas and district heating markets in EuropeĢ.4.1 Models for the introduction of smart metersģ IoT networks and communications technologiesģ.1.2 Unlicensed and licensed frequency bandsģ.2.1 International standards organisationsģ.3.1 2G/3G/4G/5G cellular technologies and IoTģ.3.3 The role of cellular networks in smart meter communicationsģ.4.3 Proprietary IPv6 connectivity stacks based on 802.15.4Ĥ.1.12 Elgama Elektronika (Linyang Energy)Ĥ.1.30 ZPA Smart Energy (El Sewedy Electrometer)Ĥ.4 System integrators and communications service providersĥ.1.2 EU policies related to smart meteringĥ.1.3 Smart metering policies on the national levelĥ.1.4 Top smart metering projects in EU27+3 countriesĦ Case studies: Smart metering projects in EuropeĦ.1.1 Enel Open Meter and the second-generation rollout in ItalyĦ.1.2 Endesa's smart metering project in SpainĦ.2.2 System development and large-scale pilotĦ.3 Current smart meter projects in four European countriesĦ.4 Pioneering next-generation smart meter rolloutsĦ.5 Smart gas meter rollouts in France and ItalyĦ.6 Smart meter communications platforms in Germany and the UKĦ.7 Smart metering in Eastern Europe and the Balkansħ.1.1 Second-wave rollouts to account for a substantial share of shipmentsħ.1.2 Growth increasingly driven by CEE and Southeast European projectsħ.1.3 Adoption of NB-IoT and LTE-M connectivity picking up speedħ.1.4 Making smart metering systems secure by designħ.1.5 Rethinking the smart metering offering to respond to emerging utility needsħ.1.6 Europe gearing up for hydrogen supply operationsħ.2 Smart electricity metering market forecastħ.2. "NB-IoT and LTE-M communications have now had their commercial breakthrough in the European metering market and are being considered for a rapidly growing number of projects", concluded Mr. Wireless connectivity options are forecasted to grow their share of annual smart electricity meter shipment volumes from 25 percent in 2020 to 57 percent in 2026.Ī lot of the growth will be attributable to the rise of 3GPP-based LPWA connectivity services, which have become available in most European markets in the past couple of years. In terms of first-generation projects, the 10 fastest growing markets during 2020-2026 will meanwhile all be in Central Eastern and Southeastern Europe - a trend that shows that the focus has started to shift away from the big Western European markets that have been the center of attention of the European smart metering market throughout the past decade.Īnother major ongoing change is related to the communications technologies being used for data exchange with the utility back office. "In fact, replacements of first-generation smart metering equipment are expected to account for nearly a third of the cumulative device shipments until 2026" said Levi Ostling, Senior Analyst. One major growth area that will spread across Europe in the coming years is second-generation smart metering deployments. The composition of annual smart electricity shipment volumes is expected to change significantly over the coming years as rollouts in many markets in Western and Northern Europe are now either well-advanced or largely completed.
The European smart gas metering market will meanwhile increase its installed base of devices from 39 million units in 2020 to just over 70 million in 2026. Growing at a robust CAGR of 7.2 percent, the installed base is expected to exceed 227 million units in 2026. This could be concluded in the latest study of the European smart metering market from the leading IoT analyst firm, which has tracked the development of the market since 2004.Īt the end 2020, the EU27+3 region was home to nearly 150 million smart electricity meters, corresponding to a penetration rate of 49 percent. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - The "Smart Metering in Europe - 16th Edition" report has been added to 's offering.Ī historic milestone has been reached in the European energy sector as the penetration of smart electricity metering has now passed the 50 percent mark.
