"It's time to get moving"on the smart meter roll-out,according to the Executive Vice President of US smart grid technology firm Silver Spring Networks,Eric Dresselhuys.
The warning comes ahead of the UK's plans to install 53 million smart meters within the next four years.
In a phone interview with BusinessGreen Mr Dresselhuys said:"We're probably not going to see huge deployment in 2012,but it's really important to prepare for 2013....2017 sounds a long way away,but five years is nothing in the context of these projects.
"The projects being talked about now are part of a broader smart grid vision.It's a big investment,so people want to get it right and build a platform for years to come.[But]now it's time to get moving."
