Foreword
This Technical Report (TR) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio
spectrum Matters (ERM).
Modal verbs terminology
In the present document "should", "should not", "may", "need not", "will", "will not", "can" and "cannot" are to be
interpreted as described in clause 3.2 of the ETSI Drafting Rules (Verbal forms for the expression of provisions).
"must" and "must not" are NOT allowed in ETSI deliverables except when used in direct citation.
Executive summary
The present document builds on ETSI TR 103 401 [i.1]: "Smart Grid Systems and Other Radio Systems suitable for
Utility Operations, and their long-term spectrum requirements".
It highlights the general and essential requirements of electricity systems, e.g. identifying that the resilience
requirements for Smart Grids are typically significantly more stringent than those for Smart Meters.
It also highlights the future spectrum requirements below 1,5 GHz for mission critical electricity systems, e.g. 18 MHz
of spectrum within the VHF, 400 MHz UHF anchor band, and 1,35/1,4 GHz bands.

Introduction
The present document builds on ETSI TR 103 401 [i.1]. It seeks access for spectrum suitable for resilient machine to
machine (RM2M) supervision, control, and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, including Wide-area Multi-Point
(WiMP), for electricity, gas and water Smart Grids.
Electricity, Gas and water grids are designated as critical national infrastructure [i.2]. The present document builds on
the Smart Grids Co-ordination Group Technical Report Reference Architecture for the Smart Grid [i.3] (RASG) in that
it highlights that real-time mission critical Smart Grid systems typically need to be resilient, sometimes requiring best
practice resilience. Smart Meter systems may form part of a Smart Grid system, but do not generally need to be as
resilient as network monitoring and control equipment. This should clarify which of the systems mentioned within the
RASG [i.3] may be suitable for Smart Grid systems and which may only be suitable for Smart Meter systems.

1 Scope
The present document considers:
1) the essential functional requirements for existing and future radio systems suitable for controlling critical
national infrastructure utility systems; and
2) the long-term spectrum requirements for critical national infrastructure utility systems.
The present document does not include the high data rate microwave link backhaul requirements of the Smart Grids or
satellite connectivity. Nor does it include any licence exempt spectrum requirements for Smart Meters or similar Smart
systems. Access to those spectrum blocks are not expected to be an issue.
Requirements for Smart Cities or Smart Homes are not within the scope of the present document.

4 Critical Infrastructure Utility Operations
4.0 Introduction
Almost all of Europe's businesses are dependent on the stable supply of electricity to enable them to provide the goods
and/or services demanded by Europe's citizens, consumers, and other businesses. Gas provides energy to many
consumers and industry either directly for heating or indirectly through the generation of electricity.

Figure 4.1: Example energy flow chart ("UK Department of Energy and Climate Change, 2014")
The European Community recognized the importance of the stable supply of electricity through Article 194 of the
Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union [i.4] (TFEU/Treaty of Rome) which sets out that the aim of EU
Energy policy is to "ensure security of energy supply in the Union", i.e. to ensure that energy (including electricity and
gas) is available to all when needed, and while doing so "promote energy efficiency and energy saving and the
development of new and renewable forms of energy". Electricity and gas Smart Grids will be used to deliver these
energy policy objectives and related water policy objectives.
