The implementation of an intelligent electricity measurement system for 10.059 small household and non-household consumers in a homogeneous area of Arges County, in order to reduce the average energy consumption in homes. The implementation of the proposed project, within which investments in the company’s energy infrastructure will be made, contributes to the achievement of the specific objective 6.3 Reducing the average electricity consumption at the level of the dwellings. The contribution of the project to the achievement of the specific objective of the Programme is justified by the fact that, following the realisation of the proposed investment, an intelligent measurement system will be implemented within the company that will provide the infrastructure necessary to improve the management of electricity consumption at the level of the dwellings in the target area; the purchased infrastructure will allow, by the end of the sustainability period, to develop strategies that allow changes in consumer consumption behaviour in order to reduce average energy consumption. By implementing the intelligent measurement system, the applicant complies with the regulations of the legislation in force (Law no. 123/2012, amended on 1.1.2015 — in which the requirements of Directive 2012/27/EU have been transposed, according to which 100 % of energy consumers should be equipped with smart meters by 2023. This target was considered extremely ambitious, at least for Romania and its current economic context, which, for its part, revised the applicable smart meters implementation plan through ANRE Order No 177/2018. The process of implementing smart metering is irreversible and the installation of mass smart meters has become a permanent medium and long-term goal (2019-2028).

The process of implementing smart metering is irreversible and the installation of mass smart meters has become a permanent medium- and long-term objective (2019-2028).smart measurement can bring many more benefits if it is not a single or isolated restructuring measure but is part of a package of measures aimed at modifying processes, streamlining them and increasing interoperability between them, which will lead to finally, to maximise the benefits, including the achievement of generous targets, such as the achievement of average energy efficiency and consumption thresholds on individual dwellings, enabling them to fit within the parameters set for characterising a ‘low-carbon economy’ and ‘a cleaner environment’.
