Webinar Summary

Let’s make no mistake; we live in a digitized world. And the digitization of energy usage data means more information can be made available to consumers and utilities to make informed decisions. And with the deployment of smart meters the U.S. faces the long term energy challenges as the majority of developed nations: a need to move towards competitively priced, environmentally sustainable sources.

Ventyx, an ABB Company with organizations CenterPoint Energy and Zpryme will provide an exclusive look at current smart meter deployments and the impacts and progress of the U.S. smart grid. Thought leaders will aim to find a common ground on U.S. smart grid initiatives in order to facilitate further dialogue with the energy industry for 2014.
