European Utilities Telecom Council
(EUTC)
Smartgrid and the role of FTTH
FTTH Conference 2013,
20th February, Excel London
European Utilities Telecom Council (EUTC):
• Formed in October 2004 as a European Arm of UTC in USA.
• A Utility Trade Association focusing on telecommunications and
ICT as needed to support core utility businesses - electricity, gas
and water.
• Originally five members providing a small budget to allow
recruitment of European resources
October 2004:
• 5 charter members
March 2012:
• 24 Charter members (2 from
Africa)
• 2 Regular members
• 9 Associate members
• In 2012
• 2 more charter
members
• 1 more associate
The European Vision:
• 20% energy from renewable sources
• 20% reduction in CO2
• 20% reduction in overall energy consumption
Smartgrid Task Force established with working groups for energy production,
energy networks (TSO & DSO), retail of energy supply and manufacturing
Everyone stated telecoms & ICT would be required, but what and how?
Europe’s Vision for Smartgrid – 2005/06
EUTC identified a crucial role in supporting the development and creation
of the future smartgrids:
• All SGTF working groups recognised that more ICT would be needed
but they had not involved ICT providers, vendors or the utility ICT
experts.
• ICT seriously under represented for two years, EUTC worked with DG
Information Society to raise the importance and issues in providing ICT
to support smart metering and smart infrastructure networks
• Invited to participate in Workshops and Expert Groups by DG Energy
and DGINFSO
• SGTF Steering Committee, Expert Group 2, 3 & 4
• Also, funded projects supporting consortia examining ICT solutions.

Smartmetering:
• A progression from Automatic MR?
• With two way communications it will:
• Promote reduction in use of energy
• Provide for time of use tariffs
• Allow demand side management
• Support distributed generation
Smartmetering does not need the Smart Infrastructure but Smart
Infrastructure needs information from the customer (Meter?)
Smartmetering – Technologies & Solutions:
• Many technologies can be used, both fixed and wireless
• Public networks e.g., GSM, FTTH where available, satellite
• Utility private networks, PowerLine Comms, long range radio,
mesh radio,
But cost is a major concern, customer to pay?:
• Future proof, utilities expect 10-15 years life from telecom
assets
• Plug and play
DSOs are increasingly looking at the combined business case for
Smartmetering and Smart Infrastructure

Smart Infrastructure:
• Intelligence from many asset points in the energy network
• It is necessary because:
• Distributed generation connects to the energy network at all
voltage layers creating potential instability in network
• Regulators and customers demand improved network
performance
• Energy consumption will continue to rise ( EVs, Heat
Pumps) and improvement in asset utilisation is a key factor
Smart Infrastructure – Technologies & Solutions:
• Many technologies can be used, both fixed and wireless
• Public networks e.g., GSM, 3G, satellite
• Utility private networks, Optical fibre, PowerLine Comms, long
range radio, mesh radio,
But cost is a major concern, the utility to bear costs:
• Future proof?
Utility wants control, may use managed services, but will probably
retain the asset ownership
These solutions will be Mission Critical
Systems must continue to operate when the power is off
In Summary:
• Utilities will make huge investment in energy networks and
telecom services over next 20-30years
• Demand for technology will increase, but no single solution fits
all, utility will mix and match using what best fits their needs
• FTTH has a role to play in SM
• FTTH rollout can be enhanced by using utility investment in fibre
for the smart infrastructure
• In Europe The European Commission is promoting sharing of
utility telecom infrastructure in support of all broadband
solutions.
