Barriers Must be Addressed Before the Smart Grid Becomes a Reality
Summary
GlobalData's report “Barriers Must be Addressed Before the Smart Grid Becomes a Reality” provides an analysis of the different barriers that are blocking the progress of the smart grids. Smart grids are facing a number of barriers while they are being implemented across the globe. The barriers are sometimes in terms of concerns from consumers while sometimes they are lack of policies. Customers of some utilities are protesting against the installation of smart meters as they feel that it will lead to risk of data privacy, inaccuracy resulting in high electricity bills and health issues concerned with radio frequency (RF) emissions. Lack of government support and proper business cases to highlight the return on investments are also hindering the progress. In such a scenario, economic and environmental concerns have emerged as drivers for smart grids..
