The EU is working towards a greener future, and this means significant changes in consumption measurement. Among other things, all manual consumption meters must be replaced by 2027 at the latest by ones that can be read remotely. This is the next phase of the EU’s Energy Efficiency Directive (EED 2018) with the aim of improving our energy and resource savings.

This is to be done, among other things, by giving consumers access to updated consumption data via apps or web portals. When residents can track their consumption, they can also more easily change their behaviour and reduce energy consumption. So the new regulations are fully in line with the shared focus on global energy resources and the UN’s Global Goals, and they will be introduced into Danish legislation during 2020.
