Smart Grid Smart City (SGSC)

• Empower customers … information,tools and pricing to better manageindividual energy usage, costs andemissions

• Reduce peak energy demand …delay the need for infrastructure.

• Reduce utility operating costs …while improving the ability torespond to customers

• Improve service reliability …technology, tools and processes tomanage the system better andrestore outages more quickly
