20 May 2010
Telematics Update recently announced the launch of its sister brand Smart Grid Update to support the challenges of the M2M industry within the growing energy space.
The leading utility San Diego Gas & Electric organizes the first ever annual Smart Grid Technology Conference & Expo (2-3 June 2010) in San Diego. Over 50 of the top utility executieves want to discuss there winning strategies to increase penetration of smart grid technologies on the grid.
Over the past 18 months, the smart grid industry has experienced a significant growth in interest and investment with the new administration pumping billions to upgrade existing networks with intelligent technologies, solutions and services.
New tech entrants and cross-industry giants still want to find the right mix of solutions to match the budgets and tech requirement of the slow moving electric utilities.
The annual Smart Grid Technology Conference & Expo (2-3 June 2010) targeted at the technology industry is uniquely positioned to bridge this very disconnect and provide the vendor community with tools necessary to develop the value added, cost-effective and custom made solutions.
Lee Krevat, the Director of Smart Grid Programs at San Diego Gas & Electric, says that the event has some of the top names sharing best practice with case studies, pilot results, and interactive session including Google PowerMeter, Verizon, Sprint, Seattle City Light, TVA, Better Place, Bluetooth SIG, EPRI, Wireless Communication Alliance amongst others.
The conference will unite electric utilities, regulatory bodies, service providers, tech giants, wireless carriers, communication network providers, meter manufacturers, software developers, system integrators, consultants, and many others.
The programme covers a complete market overview, communication networks, home automation, standardisation, electric vehicles, growth opportunities in Europe, scaling up technologies and much more.
