PRIME will host a webinar on “Smart Meter Rollout 2.0 at UFD: New Procedures and Deployment Strategies” on October 15, 2025, at 11:00 CET, featured with Naturgy (PRIME member) and presented by Juan Manuel Galan.
In accordance with Spanish Ministerial Order ICT/155/2020, all low-voltage electricity meters must be replaced after a maximum operational life of 15 years from their initial installation. As a result, the Spanish electricity market will begin renewing the smart meter fleet deployed during the first rollout phase starting in 2025.
At UFD, this renewal process will extend through 2035, with an average replacement rate of approximately 400,000 meters per year.
This second rollout introduces a number of challenges that must be addressed to ensure maximum efficiency. Key areas of focus include:
- Assessment of business processes impacted by or contributing to the large-scale deployment of smart meters.
- Redesign of operational workflows to optimize deployment efficiency.
- Development of testing and pilot programs for the new smart meter technology.
- Definition of key performance indicators (KPIs) to effectively monitor and manage the deployment process.
- Enhancements to business systems to support the new smart meter technology and enable efficient deployment execution.
- Design and implementation of a communication strategy targeting customers and other stakeholders to ensure project success.
