As part of the European Energy Directives and following recommendations from the CRE* (Commission de Regulation de l’Energie) to begin testing smart meters in France, GrDF decided to set up various pilot programs, in four different towns, for residential gas meters over a period of one year. The objective of this experiment is to study the possibility of a future mass deployment for France’s 11 million residential gas consumers.
