Up-to-date information on use-cases can be found on the [Grid eXchange Fabric website](https://www.lfenergy.org/projects/gxf/).

## Smart Meter Head-end System

**Technical drivers**

* Replacement or addition to the current head-end system
* During the coming years, many smart meters will be placed in houses, companies and other properties, therefore grid operators need a scalable solution
* E(lectricity) Meters can host up to 4 other smart devices, Gas Meters for example
* DLMS/COSEM is used by many(if not all) Smart Meters

**Customer drivers**

* People will have more insight in their power consumption
* Meter values can be gathered by the grid operator, instead of relying on people reporting the meter values
