Smart metering and demand response holds the key to
British consumers could save £1.4 billion annually, 17 megatons of CO2 emissions and avoid the addition of 23 power plants by the year 2020 through effective demand response and smart
metering programmes.
Research published by VaasaETT and partners2 shows that the implementation of demand response3
and smart metering across Britain, backed by appropriate regulatory structures, could effectively alleviate the ongoing “Energy Crisis”, achieve drastic cuts in CO2 emissions, making the implementation of
renewable energy generation a far more realistic prospect while saving consumers4 over a billion pounds
per year in overall energy spending.
Other Findings of the research include:
o Smart meters without a well-coordinated demand response strategy will lead to hundreds of millions of pounds of wasted investment.
o Successful British and European demand response will not happen without a complete re-
think of the way consumers pay for their energy, and a much more thorough understanding of customer psychology and marketing issues behind demand response behaviour.
