Abstract
Introduction
The gas meter market has been following the electricity meter trend to AMR in
the US for some years and is increasingly doing the same in Europe, but at a
much slower pace. With a new consciousness towards energy efficiency, driven
partly by fears about the environment and partly by concern about energy
security, gas utilities are now considering advanced metering, jumping from
AMR one way to AMI two way communication. The UK is the first country to
announce a national roll-out of advanced electricity and gas meters, totalling
an enormous deployment of 49 million meters. We predict that gas metering will
follow the trend to advanced metering more widely in the next few years.
Report Scope
In this new edition of the Gas Meter Report we have expanded the coverage of
the marketing profiles to review 51 countries in detail, an expansion from 22
countries in the previous report. The countries contained are (new countries

volume by user segment, C&I and residential. The report also contains a table
of population, numbers of households and the numbers of gas consumers in all
gas using countries. The report includes a discussion of the market drivers.
Types of gas meter and country practices for type approval are outlined. The
gas utility sector is outlined. Advanced metering is discussed, with reference
to the overlap of AMR and AMI.
