2. utilities and smart energy summary...
In the UK, Government projections show that without new capacity generation, supply will not meet demand by
2016, whilst at the same time billions of pounds are wasted on energy that never reaches a single light bulb.
Climate change, rising energy prices and technology advances are all forces that have been reshaping the collective
mind-set of consumers, turning many from "passive ratepayers" to highly informed, environmentally conscious
customers who want a role in using power. And now, with the emergence of the technologies that make smart
grids possible, companies can provide their customers with the information and control they need to actually
change their behaviour patterns and reduce usage and costs that show up on the utility bill.
ersg are providing subject matter experts to the Smart Energy/Utilities arena and are therefore assisting companies
in the way they transform the electricity and gas that is generated, transmitted, distributed and managed. Instead
of meter readers making rounds on a monthly cycle, a smart meter system takes an instrumented approach,
automatically collecting and transporting the reads at regular intervals or on demand. By using digital sensors,
advanced communications networks and analytics, utilities can understand demand in near realtime.
