Position paper – Reaction to the Code of Conduct on energy management related to interoperability of Energy Smart Appliances (V.1.0)

We believe that the work on interoperability requires the involvement of all relevant stakeholders in the concerning area and should take into account the standardization work done by the ESO’s and where applicable by the ISO’s. For the standardisation work in the field of Smart Grids the EU Commission issued the M490 mandate for CEN, CENELEC and ETSI to coordinate the standardisation activities. Based on that mandate the Coordination Group on Smart Grids was established, and it is still active to monitor and report on the standardisation work, identify gaps, and overlaps.
