smart grid IN DENMARK 2.0 | 29¼ MEASURE 12 – HANDLING SEVERALELECTRICITY METERS AT EACH CUSTOMERIt must be possible to install several electricitymeters at individual customers as, with thenew consumption units, there may be a needto measure different types of electricity consumptionseparately (for example for an electriccar or a heat pump). It is necessary to examinewhether, in future, aggregators can use theirown measurements and assume responsibilityfor submitting measurement values (i.e. actas metering point administrator). At the sametime, it is necessary to look at whether meterscan be coupled in series with the household’smain electricity meter. This measure involvespreparing new connection terms with the gridcompanies, and adapting the data hub so it isable to handle time values from separate electricitymeters for separate types of electricityconsumption.Implementation: 2014-2015Responsible: Energinet.dk8.4 // OTHER MEASURESTo convert the power grid to a Smart Grid, it is imperativethat a new financial regulation of the grid companiesis established that supports the introduction ofnew technology in the power grid and lays down theframework for activating customers’ flexible electricityconsumption.At the same time, it is necessary to focus on datasecurity while strengthening customer involvementin flexible electricity consumption. The so-calledwholesale model means that customer contact istransferred to the electricity suppliers in the retailmarket from autumn 2014. Thus, the possibility ofoffering flexibility services to customers transfers,in principle, to the electricity suppliers. However, it isthe grid companies which primarily stand to benefitfrom value creation by activating customers’ flexibleelectricity consumption, and therefore they shouldassume some of the responsibility for involving customers.
