With the publication of AEEGSI Resolution 651/14 / R / gas, the Italian Authority for Electricity, Gas and the Water System (now named ARERA, Autorità di Regolazione per Energia Reti e Ambiente) introduced the obligation, that gas meters must be equipped with the functionality of remote reading and management. This has resulted in a massive exchange of old gas meters, which is now being rolled out successively in Italy. The authority’s responsibility is to also ensure the usability of the service, which must be homogeneous throughout the Italian national territory, as well as maintaining the transparent system and guaranteeing the protection of the service user.
