Gas metering: remote reading or smart metering? Key findings from E-CUBE’s analysis for BFE

This analysis, carried out byE‑CUBE Strategy Consultants for the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (BFE), assesses the gas metering models required in the context of market liberalisation in Switzerland. Through the study of two smart metering solutions and the analysis of several market development scenarios, the report highlights the economic, technical and organisational impacts of a future liberalisation of the gas sector. Its conclusions provide essential insight for public and private stakeholders called upon to prepare for the transition to a more flexible, transparent and competition-friendly system.

Key findings of the study include:

  • Context of metering in an open gas market
  • Three analysis scenarios, depending on the intensity of competition
  • Relevance of possible solutions in light of the challenges
