The Smart Grid offers the potential for both the utility and the customer to manage their energy more efficiently. A Smart Grid will use Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), which will give much more data on the energy use at individual sites and allow two-way communications between the customer and the utility. Smart Grid and AMI present opportunities to integrate solar and other renewables more effectively into the grid systems, but also pose threats to the policy tools, especially net metering, which have helped promote solar installations to date. Pre-registration is required. Click to learn more and register today!
