Community of Practice: Smart Metering

Supporting utilities to advance smart metering at every size and stage of implementation.

Group Vision

To position the SWAN Smart Metering Group as the go-to global platform for any utility seeking to understand, implement, or evolve their smart metering strategy from foundational planning to advanced applications.

Guiding Principles

  1. Transforming Water, Together: Align with SWAN’s new tagline by emphasising practical content that speaks to utilities at every maturity level.
  2. Tiered Learning Paths: Structure topics in tracks so members can identify where they fit (i.e., AMR • AMI • Analytics).
  3. Tangible Outputs: Every call should lead to something concrete (i.e., a call summary, infographic, or template)
  4. Utility-Centric, Vendor-Supported: Enable utilities to lead storytelling, with vendors providing technical insight and innovation.

Strategic Goals

  1. Grow Group Engagement: Excite existing members and attract new members. 
  2. Bridge the Maturity Gap: Create pathways for early-stage and advanced utilities to engage meaningfully in the same group.
  3. Feature Underrepresented Utilities: Actively seek stories from small to mid-sized utilities to balance previous content.  
  4. Break Down the Playbook: Turn sections of the Smart Metering Playbook into usable outputs—infographics, top 10 lists, etc.
