Residential roll-out. Before it was just SME market. Much more profitable but ultimately tiny in comparison.

News to me. All EU member governments are required to cut emissions by deadline and as I understand it smart meters are integral part of that process. Latest I have seen is the below:

May 23rd 2012:
www.parliament.uk/briefing-papers/SN06179.pdf
p. 7

"The Government will place regulatory obligations on energy suppliers to "take all reasonable steps" to install smart meters for all their domestic and smaller non-domestic customers, including in rural areas, by 31 December 2019. However, it recognises that there "may be some circumstances where it would not be practical to install a smart meter".

So all UK households must have a smart meter by 2019 as long as reasonable efforts to install one have been made. That also goes for UK businesses (although many already have them - that has been the bread-and-butter business for BGBL since inception).


Npower also think so.

or am I out of date/misinformed?

Under the Labour it was going to be compulsory. Under the current Government it was overturned.

Why do you say trials, they have been going on for years now with the big six.

[beta_adjusted] 28/9/2012 11:39

why do you say now its not? the residential roll-out has happened in most other countries and is a requirement under EU treaties. Its just been delayed in the UK (only got the meter standard a few months ago!) and is due in ~2015 with large trial installations due to start ~18 months before i.e. possibly as early as early 2013 which is only a few months from now.

Smart companies can fail easily, just look at OnStream (part of national grid). From the biggest, to nothing now, within a few years.

Smart was suppose to be the next big thing, now it's not.

Every company who works in this field have industry standards of service (GSOS) and all suppliers can view each company.

Data collection, completion, cancellation of work and accuracy of data.

SMS may be the best in this field and hence win contracts.

Could also be price/costs as well.

BG do there own work in house and G4s are contractors to fit the meters.

They are the biggest out of the big six, SSE, EDF, npower, Scottish Power and one other who I forgotten are the rest. Any other contracts won are just birdfood and you cant live off that.

Just need a big order and Samsung to go through with the recent JV on the back of it as announced and it could go through the roof given exclusive nature of agreement and value of Samsung's meter above and beyond the credibility it would give. Struggling to understand why SMS are winning these large contracts and yet BGBL seems to be getting very little? is this due to different dynamic in the gas market? why is that? or are all SMS' wins in the SME/business segment, not residential?

Paying 1.5x revenue for a software company when you have customers wanting the product looks a decent deal ?

[beeezzz] 05/9/2012 12:43

Nice order for smart metering, hmm what's going on a Bglobal nothing, very badly run company IMO.

[someuwin] 10/8/2012 08:44

Maximum buy online only 10,000 shares.

[mellifluous] 10/8/2012 08:39

I think it has been talked about previously but this looks like a 'JV' but in fact the substance appears to be simply BGBL reselling Samsung equipment ?

[someuwin] 10/8/2012 08:34

The fact that this deal requires "necessary regulatory and internal approvals from Samsung" suggests that this will be a MAJOR joint venture.

SimonParker you asked earlier in a rather sardonic manner how I was an expert in 'Smart Metering'. I don't profess to be an expert on it at all. However I have been following other companies in this supposed 'growth' sector so I have done some research into a few such stocks (e.g. I am a regular contributor to the CYAN BB which is 'supposedly' tendering for a 1.5m unit 'smart meter' order in India right now).

Not sure whether pump and dump merchants know what research is but it actually involves trying to gain an understanding of the basic story some of these AIM companies are peddling rather than just indulging in the 'greater fool theory' of buying something in the hope someone else will pay more for it than yourself after it's been promoted on the BB's frequented by mug punters.

Would love to see some of my fellow 'experts' on Smart Metering contribute on the CYAN thread from now on or are you only interested in 'expertise' which boosts the share price of BGBL ?

CYAN thread

Other AIM companies in the same field appear to be EAS and SMS.

I wonder if there is any discussion of the Health issues on their respective BB's ?

"Smart metering firm Bglobal rocketed 31 per cent in morning trading on Thursday after signing a joint venture agreement with South Korean electronics giant Samsung. Bglobal says the agreement will only come into effect after it receives a firm order from a UK energy supplier for its 'smart energy' solution. There are also regulatory hurdles to overcome. Nevertheless the market clearly suspects Samsung would not have entered into such a deal without a clear idea of its probable outcome. Happy days at Bglobal."

[viktormeerldrew] 09/8/2012 11:48

Ok Simon must dash but will catch you later.

[viktormeerldrew] 09/8/2012 11:38

It's shameful that some people are more interested in a pump and dump for a few hundred quid than the safety of kids and families being compromised.
