for smart grid improvements. Therefore, profits must be
used in the most efficient way. Utilities will begin to focus
on cost justification, return on investment and payback
periods before making business decisions. In addition,
several parts of Europe have significant deployment and
are also looking for ways to maximize their investments.
Therefore, the focus on smart grid deployments will
change, focusing more on leveraging technology from
previous deployments with cost effective, low capital
solutions. Cloud based products and services will thus
garner attention, as will products that improve the
functionality of current products, improve the security of
products and services, and improve the capabilities of the
current grid without incurring high costs.

Overall, the introduction of long-term business cases will
justify the expense of smart grid deployments, improved
interconnection of products will offer utilities a larger
product and service selection, demand response pricing
options will offer better reliability and efficiency of the grid,
and optimization focus will allow the smart grid to be
further developed without incurring large capital
requirements. In 2013, the smart grid will continue to build
on the successes and learn from the failures of previous
smart grid deployments. The smart grid will continue to be
developed throughout the world, guided by goals and
directives, while allowing utilities and nations to guide their
own deployment efforts. The innovation of the smart grid
has been led by US firms, and will continue to be, as
favorable international trade agreements will encourage
innovation, as well as create competitive advantage
based on their successes and strengths of deployment
efforts to date.

Utilities will begin to focus on cost justification, return on investment and payback periods before making business decisions. In addition, several parts of Europe have significant deployment and are also looking for ways to maximize their investments. Therefore, the focus on smart grid deployments will change, focusing more on leveraging technology from previous deployments with cost effective, low capital solutions. Cloud based products and services will thus garner attention, as will products that improve the functionality of current products, improve the security of products and services, and improve the capabilities of the current grid without incurring high costs. Overall, the introduction of long-term business cases will justify the expense of smart grid deployments, improved interconnection of products will offer utilities a larger product and service selection, demand response pricing options will offer better reliability and efficiency of the grid, and optimization focus will allow the smart grid to be further developed without incurring large capital requirements. In 2013, the smart grid will continue to build on the successes and learn from the failures of previous smart grid deployments. The smart grid will continue to be developed throughout the world, guided by goals and directives, while allowing utilities and nations to guide their own deployment efforts.
