Germany's 'Energiewende' policy is accelerating the transformation of Germany's electricity supply system, and 'smart meters' are playing an important role in this change. In particular, the 「Messstellenbetriebsgesetz(MsbG)」, which took effect in 2017, can be seen as the culmination of changes for smart meter construction. In Germany, the 「Messstellenbetriebsgesetz」 divides it into ① a meter operator who has the primary basic responsibility and ② (general) meter operator. The meter operator, who has the basic responsibility, is responsible for installing and maintaining smart meters, and this is generally the responsibility of the network operator. In addition, with the goal of supplying 100% of smart meters by 2032, the installation is divided into compulsory installation and optional installation based on a certain amount of electricity. Also, data protection is being strengthened by specifically regulating persons with the authority to handle personal information data as meter operators, network operators, direct sellers, and energy providers. In our case, there is no clear regulation on management responsibilities such as installation, operation, and maintenance of smart meters. As in the case of legislation in Germany, a method of designating a meter operator who is primarily responsible for the basic responsibility and entrusting it to a distribution network operator after that can be proposed in comparative law. Specifically, it is proposed to set the meter operator who has the basic responsibility for the management of the installation, operation, and maintenance of smart meters under the current Korean system as the Korea Electric Power Corporation, and set up the person who is entrusted with the duties for the second time. For thhis purpose, a plan may be proposed to establish an ‘apartment house electricity service provider’ in the ‘intelligent grid service provider’ of the 「Intelligent Power Grid Act」.
