A new report by the independent market analyst warns that governments across Western Europe are not being explicit enough in their aims for the rollout, and that gaps are appearing in the delivery of potential benefits as a result. The report draws lessons from countries such as Italy and the Netherlands and areas such as Ontario, Canada and Victoria, Australia, which are at the forefront of smart-metering deployment. It warns that communication with consumers must be co-ordinated early and made regular to ensure the public stays on board with the idea of smart metering. The report also looks at the state of play in France, Germany, Portugal, Spain and the UK.
