  • Abstract:Already one of the longest established and most advanced liberalised markets in the world, Scandinavia will soon be an AMR enabled region with an abundance of ‘smart metering’ by default. The next step for the region will be to develop the business case for an infrastructure which is already installed: to turn smart metering into smart business. However the question arises: can smart metering ever become a smart business on its own?n The current evidence suggests that in general it cannot. Smart metering can only reach its full potential when coupled with a fully developed demand response programme.
