The 2010 North American Utility Smart Grid Deployment Survey
Greentech Media, Inc., Feb 2010, Pages: 58
This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the trends emerging as utilities across the continent roll out smarter grids. It draws on over 30 detailed smart grid deployment questions posed to decision makers at more than 50 North American utilities.
One thing is clear; many North American utility executives hold smart grid initiatives as a very high priority. 70% of survey respondents regard smart grid projects as either a strong priority or the highest priority relative to their overall business plans between now and 2015. In addition to the data provided in the chart below, 87% of survey respondents claim that senior management at their respective utilities is assigning special importance to smart grid initiatives.
As we enter a new decade, the smart grid market continues to form in terms of maturation from nascent technology initiatives and future visions to that of a market with structure, demand, early deployments and promise for near-term (0-5 years) scale and continued longer-term adoption and market penetration. The year 2010 is pivotal for the evolution of smarter grids, as it marks the time when the smart grid market will begin its transition from hype to reality. Its future success and the ultimate size and opportunity in terms of market growth will be largely dependent on the events that unfold within the next 12-24 months.
With that said, the publisher felt it was a priority to begin the year by releasing data, taken from a recent survey of smart grid industry leaders and visionaries from over 50 North American utilities, shedding quantitative light on the current and future state of smart grid deployments throughout the United States and Canada. Including a few data qualifiers, the survey is comprised of 37 questions covering all aspects of an end-to-end smart grid. The survey data is grouped into the following areas:
- Data qualification
- Smart meter deployments
- Building out the “networked grid”
- Primary deployment concerns
- Connecting intelligent grid networks to end-users and consumers
- The killer applications and benefits of smart grids
- Distribution Automation (DA) and Distribution Management Systems (DMS)
- The integration of renewable energy sources, grid storage and PHEVs
- Utility familiarity with primary smart grid product/solution vendors
This survey reached high-level smart grid decision makers with technical expertise. The majority of the respondents currently hold titles of CTO, CIO, VP of Engineering, Director of Smart Grid, Manager of AMI Projects, Technical Strategist, Manager of Innovation, Project Manager for Energy Delivery, Manger of Reliability Services, and/or Engineer at North American utilities of various sizes and types (i.e., IOUs, Munis and cooperatives).
In addition to providing straightforward raw data relating to how North American utility professionals are thinking about various smart grid issues, technologies, policies, challenges and opportunities, it becomes easy to glean high-level insights and key findings from the research. A few of the notable key findings provided by this research are listed below. Additional details and extensive analysis accompanying each survey question is included in the full report.
