Smart Meter Based Internet of Things: Phase 1

Descriptions

The Smart Meter System based Internet of Things Applications Programme aims to support innovation to determine the feasibility of, and trial, Smart Meter System based IoT sensor devices. The programme consists of 2 phases: Phase 1: feasibility, establishing the feasibility of a smart meter energy data repository through funding feasibility studies and proposing a Technical Solution for establishing a system-wide repository Phase 2: developing and demonstrating a 'proof of concept' capable of simulating key features of a smart meter energy data repository and setting out recommendations for how a system wide repository may be created Phase 2 projects will be announced by the end of March 2023. This programme is part of the up to £65 million overarching Flexibility Innovation Programme which seeks to enable large-scale widespread electricity system flexibility through smart, flexible, secure, and accessible technologies and markets. The Flexibility Innovation Programme will fund innovation across a range of key smart energy applications, and sits within the £1 billion Net Zero Innovation Portfolio (NZIP).
