Austin, TX - (Smart Grid Practice) – 03/18/11 – Zpryme recognizes that governments and utilities have long sought to improve DSM through conservation and load management programs. While these initiatives achieved some progress, the development of Smart Grids offer more tools and avenues towards improving DSM than any other power sector program or technological advancement in the last 30 years.

To gain insight into this transformation, Zpryme examined the level of investment by utilities in DSM over the past 5 years while acknowledging their sales (MWh) and revenue in the report, Smart Grid Insights: Top 10 U.S. Utilities by DSM Investment (DOWNLOAD HERE).

Allan Schurr of IBM Global Energy and Utilities explained to Zpryme that:

“Two key near term benefits of Smart Grids for utilities are operational and asset efficiency, along with improved reliability and quality of electrical service. Smart meters will enable their consumers to use energy more efficiently. Finally, Smart Grids will improve the reliability and lower the cost of incorporating significant amounts of renewable energy supplies.”

Smart Grids will revolutionize DSM by providing utilities with a flood of data that will improve the management of transmission grids and allowing flexible, consumption-driven pricing schemes that will level power distribution curves.

Below are the top ten U.S. power utilities by demand side management investment:

1. Pacific Gas & Electric Co
2. Southern California Edison Co
3. Florida Power & Light Co
4. San Diego Gas & Electric Co
5. New York Power Authority
6. Public Service Electric & Gas Co
7. Baltimore Gas & Electric Co
8. Massachusetts Electric Co
9. PacifiCorp
10. Progress Energy Florida Inc
