Residential case studies
Smart Energy Source continues to make progress with the implementation of smart grid case studies. One specific area where case studies are being initiated is at the residential level. The future grid provides many opportunities to enable consumer participation. The critical question is how can utilities, regulators and policy makers work together to make smart grid initiatives a win-win situation.
The multiple Smart Energy Source initiatives and case studies found on www.smartenergysource.coop are designed to analyze and address the following key questions:
1. How can we effectively utilize current technology to drive value and innovation for meeting today’s challenges and create future opportunities?
2. How do we create an environment and business model that is more capable of enabling new technologies to the benefit of all stakeholders?
3. What standards should be considered and implemented to assure reliability, safety and equitable returns for both the consumer and the utility?
4. How can policies on all levels work together for mutual benefit?
To learn more about these initiatives, attend the Smart Energy Source forum and field days or visit www.smartenergysource.coop.
