The 2009 Smart Grid Implementation Summit will address these questions specifically through the actual experience of leading power utility companies deploying these programs. The event will bring together senior level executives from electric power utility companies, smart grid technology companies and policymakers from state and federal governments to identify business models that work, IT deployment strategies, improvements to policy framework and interoperable standards development paths.
If you are in the process of developing, refining and executing your business plan, please take a few minutes to read through the agenda, and then visit our website –
