Abstract
This document provides an in-depth look at Gas Natural' s implementation
of its Advanced Meter Management pilot project, which covered 10,000
meters installed across the Spanish territory. The report identifies objectives;
the major drivers behind the company' s decision to undertake this
project; a description of the implemented solution; the business value;
and major lessons learned.
"Smart metering deployment has the potential to
be one of the most significant changes in the energy
world, not only for utilities, but also for all consumers,"
said Roberta Bigliani, research director for IDC Energy Insights EMEA.
"Not surprisingly, the majority of attention is dedicated to electricity.
However, interest is also increasing for applying automated meter management
(AMM) solutions to the gas and water sectors. However, not
many gas pilots are observable across Europe (and worldwide) and
Gas Natural is definitively a pioneer in this field."
