What's meant by 'smart grid.' Second, utilities are asking -- and in many cases, piloting to discover -- how best to involve the customer in energy efficiency and demand response programs via home-area networks (HAN) and/or consumer web portals. UCLA's Smart Grid Energy Research Center or SMERC is creating a Smart Grid Training Workshop for utilities, industry and government. During the future of smart grid policy roundtable. Within these new terms of engagement, the smart grid is emerging as a major focus for regulators and an opportunity for industry players, as Europe aims to optimize its renewables growth and nascent electric vehicle (EV) charging station deployment, as well as to GTM Research analyzes how utilities within each country are negotiating further deployment and triangulating between policy, in-house business cases and the consumer's role to enable industry growth. €�Information is at the center of energy efficiency, smart grid and demand response,” said Chris King, Chief Strategy Officer of eMeter.

The energy trend today is moving rapidly towards integrated networks, which requires better management of assets, peak demand and better response to faults. The tantalizing possibility of virtual power plants also exists. However, some of the characteristics of the Smart Grid effort addresses the integration of distributed energy resources, demand response, demand-side resources, ''smart'' appliances and consumer devices, plug-in electric and hybrid electric vehicles, thermal-storage air conditioning, and timely information and control Buildings are being designed and upgraded to be energy efficient but that effort often is disconnected from the Smart Grid initiative- how do we get the two in sync? Utilities, and businesses investing billions in domestic solar, wind, energy efficiency, smart grid, and electric vehicle companies and More clean renewable energy and less dirty fossil fuel. It offers a whole host of smart grid-enabled services, such as demand response, energy efficiency, energy procurement and carbon management applications. Department of Energy, in a recent report, takes stock of its Smart Grid Investment Grant program (SGIG), which, with funding from the 2009 stimulus bill, provides $3.4 billion in direct grants to be matched on a The improved infrastructure is enabling SMUD, among other things, to conduct trials of time-of-use and critical peak price systems, so as to evaluate the potential for demand-response systems and determine how such systems are best designed. However, the era of smart grid has sparked a renewed interest in demand response and energy efficiency. Consumers to make smart energy choices through access to energy data is key to smart grid implementation.
