A Smart Grid - for the Customer Local Power offers a complete retrofit of your city's power supply — from as little as supplementing power for short outages to providing 100% renewable energy networks. Installing intelligence into power use on the customer side of the meter is a critical part of our solution - to offer all customers ownership of their power system. The green power revolution is not just about greening power supply. The automation of power demand, advanced power storage is a critical opportunity to accommodate the intermittency of renewable resources like the sun and wind, eliminating the need for backup fossil generation. A Smart Grid means less need for the Old Grid; and demand technologies are cheaper than coal-fired power today. Local, on-site power generation, like cogeneration, solar photovoltaics and fuel cells, avoids transmission system losses. Peak power demand can be reduced through intelligent on-site controls, while Microgrids can integrate local resources to meet grid reliability needs. Coordinating the distributed assets of the smart grid into a Virtual Power Plant will create a level playing field for intermittent renewables and render obsolete the conventional power plant.
