Advanced metering for energy supply in Australia [electronic resource] / prepared for Total Environment Centre by David Crossley

TEC has received funding from the National Electricity Consumer Advocacy Panel to commission a report on the benefits and costs for consumers of a national rollout of interval meters, including assessment of the optimal technology choices and retail tariffs needed. While there has been previous analysis of specific aspects of interval meters, there has been no real investigation of the benefit of a rollout of interval meters at the national level, or of the benefits and costs of different time-scales for such a rollout. Neither has there been a direct focus on the potential for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from the rollout of interval meters in Australia.
