The substantial rollout of smart meters on the West Coast has been momentous. With several large projects underway and numerous others in development, California alone will have more than 17.5 million smart meters deployed within the next few years. Efforts in the Northwest are gathering momentum too, with the region as a whole at the forefront of sophisticated metering technology and comprehensive applications.
As the only executive forum for smart utilities in the West Coast region, Smart Metering West Coast will deconstruct the multitude of regulatory barriers and operational challenges associated with advanced meter roll out, demand response programs and meeting energy efficiency targets.
In 2008, the Smart Metering West Coast conference will include Smart Grids West Coast, a separate dedicated track focusing on the evolution of the intelligent grid.
The combination of smart metering and the intelligent grid is transforming the energy landscape for utilities and their customers, with new ways of measuring and managing supply and use across the grid and into homes and businesses. These pioneering technologies will open the way for improved reliability and enhanced operational efficiency. Meet with interstate stakeholders, national industry experts and local utilities to debate the future of smart metering and the smart grid.
Against this background Smart Metering West Coast 2008 will:
review the policy, regulatory, technology and commercial drivers for smart metering
investigate the strategies, standards and systems behind smart meter data management
assess smart pricing options, security and theft detection
explore the role of advanced metering in the evolution to an intelligent grid
