11 Koliba, Meeks & Zia (2011) Comparisons - Case Study Model CategoryUnited States PNW-SGD South Korea Jeju Island Test Bed Similarity = ≈ ≠ Project Profile Multi-state, mutually exclusive projects, small Demand Response test Autonomous Province, inter- connected projects, larger Demand Response test ≈ Project Outcomes Focus on technology, significant projected long- term return on investment Part of 5-year action plan for ‘Smart City’, limited immediate benefits ≠ Governance Structure Lead organization w/in DOE, Project Review Board, utility partners, technology partners State-owned utility, provincial government and consortia of technology companies ≠ Governance Attributes Part of broad energy policy portfolio, no direct ‘electeds’ participation, voluntary citizen participation Close ties to central govt., Smart Grid Act, voluntary citizen participation ≈

12  Smart Grid projects are currently focused on technology and planning/implementation.  Little current focus on governance strategies for projects or expansion.  Governance networks are limited to project scope/timelines.  Citizen engagement and “democratic anchorage” is limited. Findings

13  Governance Networks are Contextual  Koliba Analysis Model  Technology, Policy, Governance Alignment  Reflection on Leadership and EMPA Program Conclusions

14  Cohort Awesome  Professors and Staff of EMPA  My family Thanks! Gamsahamnida!
