Smart metering in non-domestic premises: early research findings
Research to understand how smaller non-domestic premises manage energy use and what can be done to help them make best use of smart meter data.

The Smart Metering Implementation Programme will offer smart meters to every home and over 2 million smaller non-domestic organisations in the country by the end of 2020.
These reports present early stage findings from a research project, commissioned by BEIS, early in the non-domestic roll-out of smart meters. The research sought to understand how these organisations use energy and manage energy consumption, including how they use smart meter data.
The research used a cluster (grouping) based method, which classified non-domestic organisations by how they use energy.
The ‘overview report’ summarises the findings of the research across the clusters. Cluster-specific reports are included as annexes to this report, along with a cross-cluster report on ‘landlords and tenants’.
The last report presents the outputs from an expert workshop in March 2017. BEIS arranged this workshop to identify solutions that will help non-domestic organisations make use of their smart metering data to manage their energy better and realise the benefits of smart metering.
On 27 November 2017, BEIS launched the £8.8 million Non-Domestic Smart Energy Management Innovation Competition. The competition aims to help develop the market for products and services that use smart energy data. This will help non-domestic organisations make better use of their smart meter data to manage their energy use and reduce consumption.
