Research and Markets: Ovum's Response to Ofgem's Smart Metering Prospectus

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8913fd/ovums_response_to) has announced the addition of the "Ovum's Response to Ofgem's Smart Metering Prospectus" report to their offering.

“Ovum's Response to Ofgem's Smart Metering Prospectus”

On July 27, 2010, Ofgem published its eagerly anticipated prospectus for smart metering in Great Britain. With 15 separate documents totaling over 800 pages, the prospectus gave Ofgem's views on how the deployment of 48 million smart meters in 27 million homes in Great Britain will progress. The prospectus is a consultation document, and Ofgem asks a number of questions throughout.

Scope

• Customer engagement in a smart meter deployment
• Ofgem's staged implementation approach
• The role of the DataCommsCo (DCC)
• Ofgem's WAN strategy

Highlights of this title

• Ofgem has recognized the importance of the consumer, but Ovum questions its consumer engagement strategy.
• The staged implementation approach appears to be more about political expediency than benefiting the deployment.
• The role of the DCC has been left disappointingly thin.
• Ovum is concerned that the WAN strategy has not been fully thought through.
