In the 1880s, Nikola Tesla invented the 3-phase 60 Hz technology still used in the North American electrical grid, which was then commercialized by George Westinghouse, who was competing with Thomas Edison. One hundred and twenty five years later, the Smart Grid aims to solve this 19th century problem using 21st century systems. And the 21st century itself brought a new set of challenges to be met: energy efficiency, integration of distributed and renewable energy, charging of electrical vehicles, pressure on costs, environmental concerns, and consumer expectations. This conference will define what is a Smart Grid, outline its main objectives, present how it is being deployed, and discuss some on-going technological and societal challenges that the industry is facing.

The opportunity for progress is clear.
Smart grid technology has the potential to reduce the power sector’s CO2 emissions 14% by 2020.
14% lower emissions
In the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Smart Grid project, consumers decreased their overall peak load on the grid by 15%when offered the opportunityto save an average of 10%on their electricity bills.
10%reduction in electricity bills
North America could save $70 billion in infrastructure spending over the next 20 years through better management of existing assets.

Let’s build a smarter planet: Energy and Utilities
Let’s work together to drive real progress in our world.
We’ve only just begun to uncover what is possible on a smarter planet.
The world will continue to become smaller, flatter and smarter. We are moving into the age of the globally integrated and intelligent economy, society and planet.
There’s no better time to start building smarter energy and utilities organizations—focused on providing energy responsibly to empowered consumers. And there’s no better time to invest in creating the kind of society we all desire.
