Water companies are starting to wake up to the potential of using smart technology as part of the upgrade process for an ageing infrastructure. 
Europe needs an integrated approach to electricity regulation in order to accelerate the introduction of smart technologies, according to one expert.

German smart metering and energy management company Culculus has appointed Gottfried Neuhaus and Pieter Trienekens to its supervisory board, joining chairman Albert Fischer. 
Utilities need to know that the smart metering investment decisions they are making now will still be beneficial in ten years time and as such more communication is needed between technology providers, an expert told NewNet. 
Smart metering and communication device specialists are being sought to join a new interoperability group launched by energy efficiency business Trilliant. 
Swiss infrastructure specialist Paradox Engineering and Spanish communications business abertis telecoms are collaborating on the development of new solutions for smart grids and smart cities. 
UK utility Scottish and Southern Energy Power Distribution has received approval from the regulator Ofgem for a £64m low carbon network project in the Thames Valley and Shetland islands. 
The national roll-out of smart metering in the UK is going to take huge effort just to engage consumers and make them understand how the technology will benefit them.

Swiss energy monitoring and distribution company Landis+Gyr has been contracted by the Kunai Island Utility Cooperative to distribute smart meters and infrastructure as part of a smart grid project on the island of Kauai in Hawaii. 
Large-scale deployments of smart metering and distribution technology are beginning to yield valuable information that will shape the way electricity, gas and water is deployed and monitored in the future. 
US energy management company Telkonet has signed a strategic partnership with hospitality-focused energy conservation specialist Green Lodging Energy that will allow GLE to market and install Telkonet’s portfolio of EcoSmart product 
In March, the UK’s Department of Climate Change announced a national programme for the roll-out of smart meters to homes and businesses in the UK. Richard Sinclair, managing director of Elster’s UK division, told NewNet that there are many challenges associated with such a large scale installation and explained Elster’s approach to the emerging technology. 
The UK is currently engaged in one of the largest infrastructure fact-finding missions in its history, looking at clean technologies that will revolutionise the way that electricity is distributed and used by consumers.
