About the DEHEMS project

DEHEMS is a project led by Manchester City Council under the European Commission’s 7th Framework Programme for Research and Technology Development.

It began in June 2008 and will run for 30 months. It will develop models for next generation smart metering services for households.

The first of a series of pilots began in September 2008 in Chorlton in Manchester with services being delivered to 5 households. This will increase to 60 households in Manchester, Birmingham and Bristol in Autumn and then 150 households in early 2009.
