WEBINAR: Beyond the Meter: Next Generation Smartgrid

Power. Policy. Climate. The Conversation Happens Here. TheEnergyCollective.comLive Webcast Sept. 8, 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT

Discussing the challenges and opportunities associated with a new energy grid and the data that comes with it.

The modernization of electrical grids presents an opportunity to improve the efficient use of energy through analytics of energy consumption data. Uses of this data can go well beyond efficiency and flexible pricing programs. Energy consumption data is a potential goldmine of knowledge about consumers. And this means that utilities, energy service providers, consumers, policy and regulatory representatives and vendors have interests in access, use, and storage of this data.

The question of who owns consumer data has been resoundingly answered, but many questions remain unresolved. Some of the most intriguing questions center on the types of companies that are most likely to find value in consumer energy data, and the types of products and services that can leverage this data. This webinar will tackle these questions and more, as we take a look at challenges and opportunities for consumers and businesses to create value from energy data.
