Summary

Smart Metering is positioning as a first step for the establishment of the Active Distribution Networks because of its capability of being an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and of creating values for different stakeholders within the energy sector, i.e. from network operators, retailers to energy consumers. This report summarises the metering stakeholders in different regions/continents, the regulatory approaches (future plans, implementing or no plans) of each region and their development status of Smarting Metering through questionnaire analyses. In addition, as the grid structure and national requirements have critical impacts on the development of Smart Metering in different areas, the worldwide regulatory framework, technical aspects, the environmental impacts and strategy of Smart Metering are discussed.
