China’s Market Regulator Launches Smart Metering Supervision Pilots in Four Provinces

China’s State Administration for Market Regulation has launched smart metering supervision pilots across four provincial-level market regulators: Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Sichuan. Beijing will pilot EV charging piles, residential water, electricity and gas meters, and taxi meters; Shanghai focuses on residential utility meters and electronic pricing scales; Jiangsu targets full-chain smart supervision of electronic pricing scales; Sichuan is advancing smart supervision of electronic pricing scales and fuel dispensers.

The pilots push China's metering oversight toward digital, real-time supervision, moving beyond periodic inspections. They affect utilities, EV charging operators, fuel retailers and meter manufacturers, who may face tighter compliance and data-reporting demands. The open question is whether these provincial pilots scale into a national framework or remain localized experiments, and whether smart supervision reshapes compliance costs across the sector.
