爱尔兰和英国政府最近要求用智能电表取代家用煤气表和电表。根据天然气和电力市场放松管制的成功程度，它们的部署战略有所不同。就各种假设进行了广泛的辩论，这些假设证明成本效益分析和这些假设的排列是合理的。人们较少关注的是，采用智能电表的目的是什么。随之而来的一个研究问题是，部署计划是否针对正确的部门。如果其目的是在整个住房部门引入自动抄表，那么更好的策略将是立法规定准确的月度账单，就像瑞典那样。允许供应商拥有更大的灵活性可能会奖励而不是扼杀设计竞争。如果目的是管理需求，那么可能是因为它使用的是复杂的关税，而不是仪表本身。高消耗量的最终用途类别和配置文件类别将更适合这项工作。创新理论还支持将新创新定位于更大的消费者，允许计量创新沿着历史轨迹进行。
The Irish and British governments have recently mandated the replacement of domestic gas and electricity meters with smart meters. Their deployment strategies differ based on the extent to which deregulation of the gas and electricity market has been successful. A broad debate has been held on the various assumptions justifying the cost-benefit analyses and the permutations of these assumptions. What has been paid less attention is to what end is a smart meter being employed towards. A corollary research question is whether the deployment plan is targeting the correct sector. If the purpose is to introduce automated meter reading across the housing sector then a better strategy would be to legislate for accurate monthly bills, as in Sweden. Allowing suppliers to have greater flexibility will likely reward rather than stifle the design of competition. If the purpose is to manage demand then it may be that it's working with complex tariffs and not the meter per se that counts. The high consuming end-use categories and profile classes would be better placed for that exercise. Innovation theory also supports the targeting of new innovations to larger consumers, allowing metering innovations to proceed along historical trajectories.
