Dept. of Primary Industries – Governement of Victoria <\/strong>– Australia
\nProject type : <\/strong>Smart meters
\nDate :<\/strong> Jan 2010 Cost :<\/strong>$2.25B AUD<\/p>\n

Synopsis :<\/strong>
\nCosts to deploy smart electrical meters to all households and small businesses in Victoria, Australia balloon from $800M to $2.25B.\u00a0 A review by the\u00a0Auditor-General questioned whether the project could now deliver any value to the residents of Victoria.\u00a0 The report noted that\u00a0“the AMI project has not used the checks and balances that would ordinarily apply to a major investment directly funded by the state.”<\/p>\n

Contributing factors as reported in the press:<\/strong>
\nLack of governance and oversight.\u00a0 Lack of analysis (in the cost benefit analysis).\u00a0 Lack of risk assessment.\u00a0 Poor stakeholder engagement.\u00a0 Insufficient resources allocated to the project to ensure its success.<\/p>\n
