Smart Grids aim to efficiently integrate generators, consumers, and prosumers connected to electricity networks. The European Commission is driving Smart Grid development through research funding, regulations, and cross-border cooperation. Key challenges include data privacy, standardization, and high infrastructure costs. The Commission's actions include developing Smart Grid standards, addressing privacy and security, updating regulations, and supporting innovation to accelerate Smart Grid deployment across Europe.

Smart Grids A Smart Grid is an electricity network that can cost efficiently integrate the behaviour and actions of all users connected to it - generators, consumers and those that do both – in order to ensure efficient, sustainable power system with low losses and high levels of quality and security of supply and safety.

Policy drivers 20-20-20 targets . - Integration of renewables into the grid - Need to increase grid and consumption efficiency Security of supply . - Increase grid robustness and resilience - Integration of large centralised and small distributed generation Market development - Empowerment of consumers - Better management of supply (generation, load) and demand - New market opportunities These drivers call for the restructuring of the grids, e.g. the structure of generation, market and the use of electricity Dr. Manuel Sánchez Jiménez.

Renewables Directive (2009/28/EC, Art16) views Smart Grids as an enabler for integration of increasing renewable energy into the grid and obliges the Member States to develop transmission and grid infrastructure . towards this aim. 3rd package for the internal energy market (Directive 2009/72/EC and Directive 2009/73/EC) Dr. Manuel Sánchez Jiménez.

COM (2011)202 - Proposed actions Action Task Smart Grids With the help of the Task Force, the EC will monitor the implementation of the work programme established in the mandate with the view to ensure timely adoption of the standards. If in the course of 2011 is not sufficient, the EC will intervene to ensure that the deadline Standards is met and the necessary standards are set. The EC will also follow the development of ICT standards at the European and international level to facilitate the implementation of Smart Grids Data privacy and The EC will monitor the provisions of national sectoral legislation that might apply to take into account the data protection specifities of Smart Grids Smart Grids security of data The ESOs will develop technical standards for Smart Grids taking the “privacy by design” approach The EC will continue bringing together the energy and ICT communities within an expert group to assess the network and information security and resilience of Smart Grids as well as to support related international cooperation Adjust the existing The EC will develop regulatory incentives for the deployment of Smart Grids, for example in the application and revision of Energy Th EC ill d l l t i ti f th d l t fS t G id f l i th li ti d ii fE Services Directive and/or through the development of a network code or implementing act on tariffs regulatory The EC will establish guidelines to define a methodology for the smart meter implementation plans of Member States, as well as for their framework for (possible) cost‐benefit analyses Smart Grids Beyond the targets for smart meters in the Third Package, the EC will request Member States to produce action plans with targets for the Beyond the targets for smart meters in the Third Package, the EC will request Member States to produce action plans with targets for the implementation of Smart Grids Through its role in the Regional Initiatives an its involvement in ENTSO‐E, the EC will encourage and promote coordinated action towards the deployment of Smart Grids at European and regional level Guarantee The EC will introduce, through revision of the Energy Services Directive, minimum requirements for the format and content of information provision for customers, and for access to information services and demand management (e.g. in‐house control of competitive Smart consumption) Grids services to The EC will monitor the implementation of the Third Package requirements needed to create a transparent and competitive retail market customers for the development of services (e.g. time‐of‐use and demand response) based on Smart Grids and metering. If the requirements are not implemented or not effective, the EC may take further actions, possible in its review of the Energy Services Directive Support During 2011, the EC will propose additional new large‐scale demonstration initiatives for rapid Smart Grids deployment, taking into account the needs identified in the EEGI. They will include ways to leverage financing, in line with the Energy Infrastructure Package and innovation and as requested by the European Council of 4 February 2011 | 10/12 rapid application Sánchez Jiménez.
