Synopsis:
The metering industry is undergoing a transformation as it reaches for the vision of the smart grid. Open architectures, increased regulation, and evolving standards are challenging the status quo and resulting in new alliances that would have been unheard of just a few years ago.

Energy directives and billions of dollars in smart grid funding are driving hundreds of smart metering initiatives worldwide.  Over the next five years, $21 billion will be spent on smart metering infrastructure, with the largest initiatives in North America, Europe, and Australia.

Based on 150 interviews with utility project managers, vendors, suppliers and government officials, this report presents the global market opportunity for smart metering, or "advanced metering infrastructure" (AMI), including the following:

  • Survey of 250 smart metering/demand response initiatives in 88 locations that represent a total potential of nearly 1 billion utility customers.
  • Market forces analysis, segmentation, and forecasts by geographical region:
    North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
  • 5 year unit/revenue forecasts and the following breakdowns: Meter type, AMI technology (fixed wireless, powerline, cellular, broadband), HAN gateways, and product segment (hardware, software and services)
  • Evaluation of the value system covering 61 companies including component suppliers, AMI vendors, and utility backend software and service providers.
  • In-depth technology analysis, standards developments, and analysis of potentially disruptive smart metering technologies.  Software simulations to illustrate the scalability, power consumption, and performance of ZigBee, WiFi, WiMAX and proprietary alternatives.

  • Smart meter deployment matrix summarizing the major smart metering/demand response projects worldwide including utility/project name, AMI vendor, number of meters, and notes on the current status.
  • US smart grid investment awards (multi-user licenses) listed in Excel by category and by state. Each entry includes awardee, federal funding award, total funding, applications, and location.

ON World has been researching advanced technologies in the energy sector since 2002 and this is our 22nd report in this area.
