UK connects 10 millionth household on DCC's smart meters network
The 10 millionth property was connected in London on the 26th of November by EDF, which fitted both a gas and electricity meter along with a communications hub and pre-payment interface device.
In addition to the 10 million households connected to the network, 41 million devices including smart meters, in-home displays, communications hubs, and smart energy control devices are connected to the network.
A total of 16.3 million smart meters are using the system for data telemetry of which some 6.4 million are first-generation and 9.9 million are second-generation smart meters, according to the statement.
The smart meters alone that are connected to the network are helping the UK to reduce 472.185 tonnes of carbon emissions per annum.
The DCC says some 646 million messages have been transported via the network in October alone. The messages include meter readings, tariff information, prepay credit top-ups and smart heating controls.
Approximately 1.7 million energy switches were made in October via the network...

Brazil leads Engie's green hydrogen projects
Brazil will play a relevant role in the strategy of French holding Engie to reach the goal of reaching 4 gigawatts (GW) of global green hydrogen production capacity by 2030. According to the executive vice president of global green hydrogen business development of the group, Raphael Barreau, the country has strong potential to attract projects due to the abundance of water and the good price of energy generated by renewable sources.
Electric energy is used in electrolysis, the process that gives rise to hydrogen. In the case of green hydrogen, the electricity used comes from renewable sources. Barreau, recently selected to occupy the company's division for the segment, will be based in Brazil.
The executive points out that the complementarity between wind, solar and hydroelectric generation in the country guarantees a constant supply of clean energy, which helps to lower the cost of the electrolysis units. “Many companies are looking at the production of green hydrogen for export in Brazil, they are realizing that production here will be much cheaper than in other countries”, he says...
