Assessing the Smart Grid Opportunity
Innovation Observatory Ltd, July 2010, Pages: 95
This report examines the trends and dynamics of the emerging smart grid sector. It includes global forecasts for the period 2010-2030 and identifies the key opportunities for smart grid investors and technology suppliers.
Smart grids will transform the electricity grid, enabling utilities to better deal with the supply and demand issues of the future and helping companies and countries meet the environmental challenges they face. Smart grids will revolutionise not just the utilities’ power infrastructure, but also their business models, the value chain, and the way people and businesses understand and manage their energy usage.
Activity in the smart grid sector is heating up, stimulated by public and private investment in new technologies. Governments are committing billions of dollars to smart grid projects to accelerate the sector’s development, and many utilities are rolling out smart meters to lay the foundations for their future smart grids.
The enormous growth potential of the smart grid sector is attracting a large number of established players and start-ups, and the value chain is crowded. There are many competing technologies, and efforts towards standardisation and interoperability are still ongoing.
Assessing the Smart Grid Opportunity examines the trends and dynamics of the emerging smart grid sector. It includes global forecasts of smart grid capex for the period 2010 to 2030, and identifies the key opportunities for smart grid investors and technology suppliers. An Excel annex of forecast data is provided.
Authored by Catherine Viola, Simon Sherrington and James Moore, and edited by Danny Dicks, this 80-page Innovation Observatory report provides insights into the transformation of the electricity grid to the smart grid.
