Paper gives an overview of the smart grids definitions and smart meter cost benefit analysis in Latvia. Electrical power consumption metering is topical since development of distribution grid. As different smart meters are available on global market, it is necessary to evaluate the possible costs and benefits to justify existing metering system replacement with smart metering system. Paper describes six possible scenarios and compares the possible cost-benefits.
