Deputy Director at BEAMA to Speak at Meter Asset Management 2015 Conference

LONDON - March 11, 2015 - PRLog -- Meter Asset Management 2015 will cover issues relating to new smart meters as well as focus on looking at the retention of traditional metering and the many processes involved in switching them over.

SMi is delighted to have Jeremy Yapp, Deputy Director, Smart Metering from BEAMA speaking at the 2nd annual Meter Asset Management conference taking place on 22nd - 23rd June 2015 in London, UK.

His highly topical speech will focus on consumer energy data and the connected home. By giving a status update on equipment availability and the role of consumer data in the connected home, he will shed light on this pertinent topic. His unique talk will also address the remaining challenges to rollout and highlight the power of smart energy data.

Countries across Europe are aiming to meet the EU goals of installing smart meters in most homes and reduce energy waste and many are in the same position as the UK, at the crucial stage in the road towards full roll outs.
