The Fair Meter Initiative aims at developing sustainable supply chain practices for the new generation smart meters. It has developed into a network of organizations that support this development. Each party supports the initiative based on their particular value chain position or specific competence, ranging from project support to knowledge development or e.g. marketing related services.
The Fair Meter Initiative has sparked several related developments:
- Dutch grid operators have created and subscribed to a vision document that describes the vision underlying the development of a fair meter and the necessity of such a process.
- During the European Utility week in October 2013, supplier meetings have been organized to co-create a framework for further development towards a fair meter. One of the outcomes is a first concept-document that defines ‘FAIR’ and could form the backbone of a comprehensive program for the development of the ‘FAIR’ smart meter.
- On November 12th 2013 a ‘ Green Deal’ was signed; it is a collaborative agreement between Dutch government, knowledge institutions and grid operators for the development of a Fair Meter. Signing partners include Stedin, Alliander, Cogas, Waag Society and Amsterdam Smart City. For more information on these developments, please see the ‘news’ page of this website.
