Realized Customer Benefits from Smart Grid Deployments - Business Case for Smart Grid

Summary

GlobalData’s report “Realized Customer Benefits from Smart Grid Deployments - Business Case for Smart Grid” provides an analysis of the different utility examples that have led to significant benefit to their customers from the deployment of smart grid technologies. The benefits emerging from smart grid technology deployments act as a major driver for power utilities for commissioning funds to roll out smart grid technologies. The cost-benefit analysis of smart grid technology is difficult to gauge as most of the technologies are being tested as pilots and commercial implementation will depend on the outcome of these pilot tests. However, the demand response and peak-pricing mechanism is one of the few existing ways of gaining some insights into the benefits provided by smart grid technology. This technology was popular among large commercial and industrial customers of power utilities. The positive outcomes of these programs have inspired other utilities to roll them out for residential customers as well. The trend is catching on, not only in advanced smart grid markets such as the US, but also in emerging markets in Asia-Pacific and Europe.
