Channel Distribution and Partner Programs a Key Focus of Smart Energy Summit …

DALLAS, Jan 26, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE –
International research firm Parks Associates today announced the agenda
and speakers for Smart
Energy Summit: Engaging the Consumer, February 28-March 1, Austin,
Texas. The event features the Parks Associates analyst team and more
than 40 executives addressing new energy management solutions,
distribution channels, and partnership opportunities emerging among
broadband service providers, utilities, OEMs, security providers, and
retailers.

Smart Energy Summit also features analysis of the latest
announcements in this market area, including the impact of the new
products and partnerships announced at DistribuTECH this week by
companies including Opower, IBM, Itron, and Honeywell.

«One-third of U.S. broadband households find energy monitoring highly
appealing, but 39% are unaware of energy programs offered by utilities,
highlighting a significant gap in consumer engagement,» said Stuart
Sikes, President, Parks Associates. «With the variety of new
players, often with overlapping goals, entering the market, it creates
new partnership opportunities that can move solutions quickly to market
and re-capture that initial enthusiasm. The combined marketing efforts
of broadband providers, security service firms, and utilities will
increase consumer awareness of energy management services, driving
growth beyond early adopters. »
