BEAMA applauds UK smart meter installation approach
The British Electrotechnical and Allied Manufacturers Association (BEAMA) welcomes the Government’s plans for installing smart meters in UK homes and small businesses. Dr. Howard Porter, chief operating officer (COO) of BEAMA, made remarks on the subject at the group’s recent Smart Electricity Systems Conference.
“It is particularly refreshing to see the clarity of thinking presented in the ‘Smarter Grids: The Opportunity’ document,” said Porter, referring to the Government’s roadmap to a sustainable future. “The paper provides a roadmap to 2050 with increased future interaction between the distribution network and energy users.”
