“Great opportunity to brand and position ourselves in a fast growing and changing market.”

Nicole Poindexter Director, Global Business Development Opower, USA

Over 1000 participants from 42 countries attended the 8th annual Metering Billing/CRM Asia (Co-located with Transmission & Distribution / Smart Grids Asia), on 22-23 May 2013 in Bangkok, Thailand, a 30% increase compared to last year’s event. 1049 attendees • 51 speakers • 66 exhibitors • 42 countries These are the final numbers of the 8th annual Metering Billing/CRM (Co-located with Transmission & Distribution / Smart Grids) Asia. Once again, the show served as the premier platform for next generation electricity utilities stakeholders in Asia, focusing on regional and global developments in new metering technologies, revenue enhancing billing systems, advanced customer management applications as well as the latest approaches and solutions for the optimal operations, maintenance and upgrading of our transmission and distribution networks. Hosted by the Energy Regulatory Commission, the Metropolitan Electricity Authority and the Provincial Electricity Authority of Thailand, participants spent two full days discussing market outlook, exchanging experiences with international utilities and exploring new-to-market solutions and technologies. A well-represented panel of 51 industry experts across the value chain was on hand to share their views, practical experiences and discuss the key issues shaping the industry. Presentations and debates were often heated and passionate with enthusiastic participation from the delegates.

introduction


The event was such a great success that it’s no wonder that more than 50% of the exhibition floor space has already been rebooked for next year. Participants were unanimous in their comments on the event being the best they’d attended with more than 90% of attendees rating the conference good to excellent. Under the new unifying brand of Asian Utility Week, the show will continue to be the annual event for the regional utility community to convene and gain fresh insights, creating even more opportunities for our customers to create the smart energy economy and further grow their business. We hope you can join us in June 2014 at the all new Asian Utility Week! Kind regards,

Daria La Valle, Project Director Asian Utility Week P.S. If you wish to be involved in the 9th Asian Utility Week (Bangkok, June 10-11 2014), feel free to contact us at [email protected] or visit www.asian-utility-week.com

Working towards Asia’s energy future – smart, green and consumer-friendly. The underlying theme of the conference was to assess the policy and future market direction of the electric utility industry in Asia and the impact on all players, including governments, utilities, the industry and consumers.

The conference kick-started with keynote welcome addresses by Thailand’s energy stakeholders – Pallapa Ruangrong, Commissioner at the Energy Regulatory Commission of Thailand and Chokchun Sukanthapruk, Deputy Governor (Planning and System Development) at the Provincial Electricity Authority of Thailand – each addressing the 300-strong audience on Thailand’s plans and efforts towards the development of a smart grid, with the ultimate goal of providing the country’s energy consumers with more reliable, clean and ultimately cheaper electricity.

The following panel debate between six key representatives from the SE Asian utility community (ERC, MEA, PEA, TNB, MERALCO, NGCP and Standing Committee for Energy of the Senate of the Kingdom of Thailand), was chaired by Milo Sjardin of Bloomberg New Energy Finance and raised important questions over the roles and responsibilities of the key parties towards the development of smart grids:

• One of the biggest challenges in the region is the regulatory framework of pricing electricity. In order for a smart grid to be deployed it is imperative that the pricing structure is changed so that a smart grid can be paid for and be more effective.

post event analysis


• Communication with customers is essential. Customers need to be aware of the benefits of smart meters and how they can best be used. The end objective is more reliable, potentially lower cost electricity and customers need to be aware of this so that there is buy-in from their side.

• Technology is at the heart of the smart grid. Given the fast development of technology it is important that regulators and utilities deploy smart grid in a gradual and flexible manner.

During the next one and a half days, innovative policies, projects and investment plans were brought to the table as a testimony of Asia’s commitment towards a sustainable, efficient and ultimately customer friendly energy future. The conference agenda was arranged around three main themes: Metering & Consumer; Smart Grids, ICT & Data and Transmission & Distribution. Each theme had its own dedicated programme that ran concurrently with the others, providing attendees with over 50 individual talks and more than 20 hours of presentations.

Among the many quality case study presentations, a special mention goes to the non-Asian speakers who brought along some internationally acclaimed projects and offered their international perspective to the predominantly Asian mix.

Michael Pesin of Seattle City Light spoke about the city’s smart grid journey towards the development of future proof grids.

Ramy Soussou from the Energy Retailers Association of Australia brought to the table the smart meter roll out experience of the most competitive energy retail market worldwide.

Marcus Tyle of Australian distributor Energex presented on their pioneering meter data warehousing and analytics programme for the enhanced power monitoring and support of smart grid pilots.

Poul Berthelsen of Danish utility NRGi provided attendees with an overview of the company’s successful smart meter roll out and journey towards a smarter grid.

Overall, the conference provided an effective platform for the Asian utility community to meet, discuss challenges and compare actionable strategies towards the development of a true smart energy market to the benefit of both the utility as well as the customer.

“The event provided vast opportunities to learn and exchange knowledge and experience on smart metering/smart grid technologies and implementation from conference delegates, manufacturers and solution providers at a single venue. The round table sessions were especially beneficial as deep discussionson specific topics could be conducted.”

Very special thanks go out to our Diamond Sponsor Enverv, Platinum Sponsor Holley and Gold Sponsor Mitsubishi Electric.

Based on the overwhelmingly positive feedback from those who attended, we can proudly say that we have exceeded even our own expectations and have delivered our best show ever. Together with our Sponsors and Exhibitors we have yet again significantly grown the participant numbers.

It was also fantastic to see the great effort and flair our exhibitors applied to the new Exhibitor Excellence sessions; this experience elevated the look and feel of the event to a whole new level.

The 2014 event is already looking exceptionally promising with more than 50% of the exhibition floor space already sold. We are especially excited with the rebranding of the show to “Asian Utility Week”, allowing us the opportunity of opening up the event with the aim of creating the one stop shop for the region’s smart energy community.


We’re not resting on our laurels, Asian Utility Week 2014 will again bring us all together for an unmatched experience, content specifically focused for utilities that they can act upon, couple that with high quality delegates for networking and business development that will make this event well worth your time.

The team and I at Clarion Events look forward to welcoming you in Bangkok in June 2014.

Kind regards and many thanks,
