The ABS Electricity Meters Report Ed 8 2010 has measured the largest expansion of metering, already under way and about to escalate significantly, both quantitative and qualitative. The report is redesigned and greatly expanded in scope compared with previous editions of this report. The changes and expansions have been designed to meet the need of the metering industry for information at their specific request. The metering companies have given strong support and have been generous in time and provision of information. We would like to acknowledge their generous support
The report and database are available together as a package. The database contains:
•The tables from the report
• Current demand in units and value
• Forecasts annually to 2013 in units and value
• Export analysis annually from 1997 to 2008/9 in units, total $ value and unit price
• Spreadsheet of exports by country of origin and importing country from 2003 to 2008/9


The world is adopting advanced metering. So far 32 countries have decided to proceed and the global metering market will increase 56% in five years, with more to follow. However, it is not all good news. Amidst these exciting developments there are traps for the unwary. There are immediate hurdles to be jumped and long term pitfalls to be avoided. Not every deployment will offer the same opportunities to the international meter manufacturers. Some of the largest schemes are in markets which are not accessible to the international vendors. To optimise the opportunity the good planner will direct resources to the countries where the chances are best and the Electricity Meter Report offers guidance on this. Long term the problem is that the dynamics of the market will be totally changed, in two ways. After the initial deployments in the next five to ten years two things will happen. There will be an immediate lull in demand. On current plans for AMI, the European market alone will decline by almost 60% as large swathes of the meter fleet will have been completely renewed and will need no replacement. Another ripple to this comes with privatisation in Eastern Europe as old electromechanical meters are being replaced by basic electronic meters, creating another category of new meter fleets. At some point after that replacement will recommence, and it will be based on a shorter meter life than in the traditional electromechanical meter installations, so demand will increase. These issues are starting and as yet are not completely mapped because full plans are not yet known. They are discussed in the report and will be addressed in increasing detail in future issues of the report. They are crucial for meter company planners.
