How can smart metering support the development of local energy markets (connecting local generation and customers through innovative tariffs)?

Background

BEIS has committed to ending the UK’s contribution to global warming by achieving net zero
greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Our work towards becoming a leader in green
technologies and clean energy will drive economic growth, all whilst accelerating global climate
action through strong international leadership. To achieve this, we need to better understand
the following research questions:
