The smart grid – laying the foundation for energy management in the 21st century
Hearing a lot these days about the Smart Grid but don’t know what it is? Curious about why the Smart Grid is a critical foundation for addressing energy management in the 21st century or why the Obama Administration has allocated $4.5BN in stimulus funding for Smart Grid? (Yes, we know, a billion dollars isn't nearly as impressive as it used to be, and yes, pretty much everything gets its own billion dollar allocation these days. Still, even in today's world, $4.5B is a serious statement.)
Join the Wharton Club of Northern California for a session to learn more about the Smart Grid. David Pejcha (WG06), Director of Marketing at Silver Spring Networks, will review the fundamentals that are driving the Smart Grid market and the vision of Silver Spring Networks. It promises to be an eye-opening discussion!
