ASSESSMENT OF SMART METERING MODELS: THE CASE OF HUNGARY
In Hungary, the task to prepare the regulation related to Smart Metering complying with the
EU directive falls under the responsibility of the Hungarian Energy Office (HEO). In 2009, the
HEO commissioned a consortium formed by consulting firms Force Motrice Zrt. and A.T.
Kearney Ges.m.b.H. with the preparation of a smart metering study. The HEO received a
subsidy from the World Bank for its preparation.
The objective of the study is to examine the options for introducing smart metering in
Hungary, and to make a recommendation for the method and scheduling of the
introduction.
