Innovation is on the consumer side Dynamic Pricing-Pricing for incremental and time of use, not bulk sale of averaged price electricity. Smart Grid defined –Self healing/correcting –Motivate customers to be active grid participants/controllers of grid –Resist attack-physical/cyber –Increased power quality for modern uses –Accommodate all generation/storage options –Facilitate markets –Optimize all assets/operations
25
So, you want to make money in energy solutions Ray’s advice for what it is worth –Get as close to the consumer as you can This is not production solutions, it is consumption solutions –The answer is simple: Consumers want to “TiVo ®” energy Let them Real time pricing Instant consumption feedback Information Remember Dirty Jobs……
