China's Smart Grid Spending Blitz: An Overview and Its Global Impact

China is in the middle of the largest smart metering deployment in the world. Smart meter shipments and installations in the country dwarf those of other leading smart energy nations and will continue to do so for the rest of the decade; however, it is not just the scale and value of the Chinese smart meter deployment that makes it unique. Led by government investment, the deployment aims to not just radically update the countries struggling electricity network, but also place its technology vendors at the vanguard of smart grid understanding and experience.

This report looks at the progress of China’s smart meter spending project at the mid-point stage and examines which companies and technologies have so far benefited and which are best set for the second half of the deployment.
