Smart-Grid Has the industry created a common vision of Smart Grid? What questions should be asked before we create a Smart-Grid vision 2

Three Questions Have our policy makers created the right environment for the development of sustainable energy and environmental programs? Is the prescriptive approach the right approach? Is there a better approach? 3

The Prescriptive Approach Renewable standards Conservation standards/goals Greenhouse gas reduction goals Super-Grid standards Mandated vehicle emission standards Plug in electric hybrid goals Alternate fuel standards 4

Unintended Consequences One size fits all Impossible to optimize portfolio of programs Creates market anomalies Potentially creates negative environmental impact Dilutes smart-grid value potential 5

Is a Course Correction Needed Should we consider an outcome based approach What is the goal? Energy independence Reduced greenhouse gas emissions 6

Evaluation Framework Triple bottom-line approach Economic Environmental Social 7
