The CG-SG advises on European standardization requirements relating to smart electrical grid and multi-commodity smart metering standardization, including interactions between commodity systems (e.g. electricity, gas, heat, water), and assesses ways to address them. This includes interactions with end-users, including consumers/prosumers.
Its aim is to promote the deployment of open and interoperable data architectures, based on European and international standards. The scope also includes any standards needed to design, operate and maintain electrical grids securely and efficiently. In the specific area of metering, its scope includes electricity, water, gas and heat/cooling metering devices and systems, and associated architectures.
Within its scope the Group will address the European requirements resulting from the Clean Energy Package, including secondary legislation, and any other relevant Commission initiatives.
The CG-SG shall also receive inputs from and provide input to the European Commission’s activities related to standardization in the field of smart grids and meters.
With respect to international standardization activities on smart grids and meters, the Group shall monitor the progress of the relevant standardization activities in ISO, IEC and ITU, and promote coordination between the European activities and those at the international level and promote when needed the consideration of European requirements within international standardization.
The Group shall not develop standardization deliverables (e.g. European Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports), but may develop informative material intended for the public domain after approval by the CEN and CENELEC Technical Boards (BTs) and ETSI Board.
