The Energie AG smart metering project AMIS was started as the first broad test case in the region “Upper Austria” in 2005 and led by the regional DSO. After 8 years the system has reached a mature state with approximately 100.000 smart meters and 25.000 load switching devices, which replaced the common ripple control receivers.
