Research and Markets: Smart Grids – Overview and Insights

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE–

(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/89c855/smart_grids_over
has announced the addition of the «Smart
Grids – Overview and Insights» report to their offering.

Smart is now well and truly on the agenda of most electricity companies,
and indeed on many of their governments’ political agendas. It has
become increasingly clear that smart grids are able to transform the
energy industry, and that a much broader group of industries are also
affected by this. The other industries involved are IT, telecoms, white
goods, renewables, management consultants, storage, transport, etc. The
electricity grid is becoming the enabler in all these changes, and by
making it an intelligent grid and adding telecoms to it, the power will
shift away from the electricity companies to the customers – and the
appliances that will be developed will assist this process; some of that
on a M2M basis. On term being used for these developments is the Inter
Net of things.

This industry transformation will lead to a regulated monopoly in
relation to the infrastructure, while a range of new services and
applications that are becoming available over the infrastructure will
create increased competition, as, with many new companies entering this
retail field, that market will become truly contestable. This will, of
course, also lead to friction with the existing players. Disruptive
energy developments from new energy service providers, who will build
new business models around distributed (renewable energy, will also add
to the dynamics of the emerging market.

A significantly large part of the population is interested in reducing
energy costs and lowering their CO2 footprint and there is evidence that
savings of around 30% are possible. This could largely offset the
increases in electricity prices. This report is designed to provide a
current market overview as well as observations which may assist
investors, analysts and industry participants in making investment and
business decisions.
