Project Summary
ESMA is a cross European project with 14
participants from 9 countries.

• Its aims are
• To maximise the energy efficiency benefits of
  Article 13 of the Energy Services Directive
  through customer feedback
• To reach consensus on the energy efficiency and
  sustainability benefits of smart metering
• To identify and disseminate best practice
• To provide a forum for stakeholders to come
  together, resolve issues and share knowledge
• To report on smart metering progress to the
  European Commission

Background
There is an urgent need to reduce residential
energy consumption. Trials have shown that
customers can save up to 15 of their energy if
they receive real time feedback from their
meters, a feature of Smart Metering. But these
results are not consistent and ESMA aims to
identify and spread best practice to deliver the
maximum energy efficiency benefits from the
installation of smart metering. Smart metering
can be used for all customers with a metered
supply of electricity, gas, heat and
water. Governments are currently implementing
Article 13 of the Energy Services Directive which
requires customers to be given more information
about their energy consumption. ESMA is working
to provide governments with the information they
need to make the most of smart metering.
