Traditional "broadcast" electrical, gas and thermal energy distribution networks are being upgraded into smart grids – vast interconnected arrays of smart meters, sensors, controls, micro-generators and domestic appliances.
Smart grids will be one of the major components of a new, low-carbon economy. They offer the opportunity to generate, transmit and distribute energy in a far more efficient way, by fully exploiting the power of information and communications. Smart grids could also enable a host of new service capabilities in finance, home appliances, transport and the optimisation of micro-generation. Implementing such changes will be highly disruptive, mistakes costly. New business models will emerge, only a few will survive. The transition from today's energy industry structure to new value networks is full of risk and cost as well as opportunity. Join us to find out how to make smart grids the place to make smart money.
SMART GRID PAVILION by Telco2.0
Why is the Telco 2.0 Initiative hosting this virtual event?
Smart Grids bring together two worlds: energy and ICT, in a unique setting designed to identify how they can create new opportunities and drive innovation. This event will do more than explore how energy suppliers can become more efficient in the transmission and distribution of power. Telco 2.0 has built a rich understanding of how telecoms operators and IT players are meeting the challenges and opportunities brought by disruptive internet technologies. With this event, Telco 2.0 brings this understanding to the energy industry, along with insights into the implications for existing and new players.

Disruptive opportunities for new entrants and existing players
Stuart Newstead (Associate Telco 2.0 initiative)- Smart Grids will transform the electricity industry, ensuring transparency and significant opportunities for new entrants into the market with limited barriers to entry.
- New opportunities for existing players and new entrants, energy suppliers, telcos, automotive, white goods, finance, lifestyle brands and environmental enterprises.
- The potential to sell power usage alongside consumer products is an exciting prospect for consumers and producers.
- Brokerage of demand response for peak curtailment or peak leveling.
- Consumers exchanging control of non-essential devices in exchange for lower power costs.
- Finance, management and optimization of domestic and small-scale micro-generation (renewable, combined heat and power)
