The Smart Grid

» Internet-based information technology can dramatically improve the reliability and efficiency of the electric power grid

» Intelligent network of distributed demand and supply resources – technologies which store energy, produce power, or measure and control load

» Utilities gain visibility and control through advanced informatics, telematics and analytics at the edge of the grid

» Open architecture that easily integrates and controls new distributed technologies (i.e. renewables, PHEVs, fuel cells)

» Consumers empowered with “online energy management” to reduce energy consumption and cost

» Offers environmental benefits by reducing emissions and conserving fuel and land resources

New Legislation Supports Smart Grid» U.S. House & Senate

» passed energy bills this summer to support smart grid, e.g., creating new “Grid Modernization Commission” to facilitate its creation, addressing critical issue of interoperability, providing federal matching funds for smart grid projects, and promoting new regional demonstration projects.

» U.S. Conference of Mayors » passed resolution in July endorsing smart grid concepts, emerging technologies

and policies, and calling for digital automation of entire electric power supply system.

» GridWise Alliance» goal to move U.S. electric grid into the information age, has been working on

Capitol Hill and with state and local groups to promote these changes. Members include utilities Duke Energy and Austin Energy, high-tech giants IBM and Cisco, and clean tech companies like GridPoint and Ice Energy.

Industry Perspectives on GridPoint

» AlwaysOn GoingGreen Top 100 Private Companies – Sept. 2007» AlwaysOn GoingGreen Top 100 Private Companies recognized GridPoint as the number 1 company.

The list identifies the most promising entrepreneurial opportunities and investments in the clean tech industry.  Companies had to be peer-nominated, with AlwaysOn receiving more than 500 nominations from venture investors, investment bankers and other industry experts.

» Frost & Sullivan – Green Excellence Award – Sept. 2007» GridPoint presents a set of value propositions nested together into the same product platform for

both consumers and utilities. While the consumer would benefit from renewable energy integration, backup power and a bill reduction, the utilities in turn will benefit from a virtual peaking power plant. Deploying such a system on a community-wide basis will increase power availability both on demand reduction as well as stored energy.

» Esther Dyson, author and technology visionary as quoted in The Clean Tech Revolution – June 2007

» “GridPoint does for the utility grid what the Internet did for the telephone infrastructure. It allows it to grow smarter and to scale easily by putting intelligence at the edges, instead of attempting to impose centralized control.”

» Gartner – “Cool Vendors in Energy and Utilities 2007” – April 2007» Gartner expects a significant percentage of new generation capacities to be introduced by end

users in the form of distributed energy resources, mostly using alternative and cleaner energy sources (such as solar and wind). GridPoint’s solution can help integrate consumers in an intelligent, self-healing grid.
