Mark Gabriel speaking on consumer engagement in creating and implementing the smart grid.

“This book offers a unique insight into the corporate health of energy companies in an evolving landscape of deregulation. Cutting across both historical and present-day situations, it demonstrates important elements vital to the success of energy companies coming out of a safe regulated structure and dealing with a new competitive environment.

“2011 Focus — The Way Forward: With stimulus and investment dollars in play, standards work in full swing, and deployments underway, the Smart Grid industry is positioned to make tremendous strides over the coming years. With the industry’s top minds in attendance, GridWeek provides the forum to define strategic direction, while diving deeply into content that will inform business, policy and solutions decisions down the road. Content is focused around key day themes:

Looking Forward – Helping to paint a picture of energy within the next five to ten years such that utilities can understand the context in which their business plans and solutions strategies will play out.
Strategic Solutions – Strategic technology drivers that will guide utilities’ grid-modernization solution strategy for the years ahead — whether those drivers are consumer engagement, electric vehicle integration, or cyber security and privacy.

State of Deployments – Utility-rich panels that assess the state of Smart Grid deployment progress – a virtual report card of implementations to date.
This premier Smart Grid event provides the opportunity for utilities, policymakers, regulators, technology companies, and non-profit organizations to participate in game-changing discussions, network with industry thought leaders, and identify business opportunities within this vast Smart Grid community, while helping chart the way forward for the Smart Grid industry.”
