5Powering the 21st Century Economy
Result – Sea Change in the Network
Consumer engagement with resources to solve power issues locallyTwo-way power flow in DistributionAs prices increase, local renewables will increase in residential, commercial, and industrialImperative to transform from passive to active control in DistributionNew ways for Distribution to become a Transmission resource

6Powering the 21st Century Economy
Investment Winners
Technologies that enable two-way power flow controlTechnologies that ease the consumer integration to grid operationsTechnologies that accommodate, offset, or manage the exponential operational complexity comingTechnologies and strategies that enable safely, operating closer to design limitsTechnologies that enable better, cheaper sensing of all the aboveBroadband, secure, robust, wireless communications infrastructure for all the above

Smart Grid Characteristics
The Smart Grid is “transactive” and will:
Enable active participation by consumers
Accommodate all generation and storage options
Enable new products, services and markets
Provide power quality for the digital economy
Optimize asset utilization and operate efficiently
Anticipate & respond to system disturbances (self-heal)
Operate resiliently against attack and natural disaster

8Powering the 21st Century Economy
Under the “Business As Usual” approach over the next 20 years, the U.S. electric industry will spend more than $5 trillion on fuel, capital construction, and consumer business losses.
