Thank you!
Thank you to all attendees, speakers and sponsors that made Smart Energy East Coast Conference 2009 a great success! With 30% of the audience from leading East Coast utilities the conference discussions were valuable to all who participated.
One of the key highlights can be attributed to rather fortunate timing – the announcement of the DOE Smart Grid Program winners. With 100 smart grid projects named on Tuesday lunchtime, the tone of the conference was set. Funded projects are expected to install 1.8 million smart meters over the coming three years, bringing them to about 13 percent of the nation's homes, also bringing in a host of networking, software and integration partners involved in installing, operating and maintaining them in the field. All told, the projects would lead to $8.1 billion in public and private investment into the smart grid sector, welcome news for smart grid companies, utilities and customers alike.
We look forward to seeing
you in 2010! |

Energy efficiency and smart grid for New York clean energy economy
Energy efficiency and the development of a smart grid are among the priorities proposed in a new draft plan to guide New York State to a clean energy economy. Investing in end-use energy efficiency, across all sources of energy and across all energy-using sectors, is the most economical approach to expanding the State’s clean energy economy, states the draft plan, which was released recently by Governor David A. Paterson.
In the short run, investments in energy efficiency reduce energy use and bills for participating customers. In the long run, a significant reduction in electricity demand has been shown to put downward pressure on wholesale electricity prices, reduce price volatility, and reduce emissions of CO2 and other air pollutants.
