Position Paper on Smart Grids – an ERGEG Conclusions Paper

This Conclusions Paper presents a set of conclusions (7) and recommendations (10) that should be taken in account, where appropriate, by European and national decision-makers when discussing smart grids. The paper focuses on three key areas - definition and drivers of smart grids; opportunities and regulatory challenges; and priorities for regulation. The conclusions and recommendations drawn from this experience will be important for ERGEG to effectively advise the European Commission in developing the future European policy framework for smart grids, as smarter networks are expected to be a key facilitator in the transition to a low-carbon energy sector.
