Smart meters could triple CO2 savings by 2020, says technology group
Published: 17 Jun 08 16:51 Last updated: 17 Jun 08 16:54
Power companies in the European Union could cut 100 million tonnes of carbon dioxide
emissions a year by 2020 if there was more investment in reducing peak demand for
electricity, consultancy and technology group Capgemini said in a report today.
But on current peak demand projections, the power industry in the EUs original 15 member
states will only cut 30 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions a year by 2020.
This is mainly because too few so-called smart meters are being installed.
These meters allow households and companies to cut demand for water and heating at peak
times, known as demand response.
Capgemini said peak demand for electricity is expected to grow twice as fast as overall
electricity consumption, an increase of about 1.8 per cent a year in the European Union by
2020.
If Europe continues to follow this present trend not only will it fail to meet its won climate
change objectives of 20 per cent reduction by 2020, but electricity consumption will actually
have risen 18 per cent, the report said.
Capgemini also estimates that the widespread use of smart meters would also save 202
terra watt hours annually by 2020, or enough electricity to run all the kitchen appliances and
washing machines in the EU original 15 member states for one year.
And the smart meters would enable the power industry to avoid investing 50 billion in new
power plants, which will be needed if todays growth in peak demand continues, the report
added.
The study was co-authored by Vaasaett, a Helsinki energy think tank, and Enerdata, a
French energy research company.
