A few of Pike Research’s smart grid industry predictions include the following:- Security will become the top smart grid concern- Distribution Automation will rival AMI as the most visible smart grid application- The “Bakersfield Effect” will continue, but some consumers will actually LIKE the smart grid- Smart meter and AMI focus will shift toward Europe and China- The “Year of the HAN” will not arrive… yet- The Demand Response business transformation will accelerate- The ARRA smart grid “stimulus” will finally have a positive impact- The standards “horse” will begin to catch the deployment “cart”- Data management will be the next bottleneck to smart grid benefits- Existing data and telecom vendors will get serious about the smart grid

Technology Review has an article on efforts to expand and modernise the European energy grid, easing the way for large scale renewables, particularly offshore -Europe Backs Supergrids. Last month, the European Commission (EC) called for construction of regional electric transmission connections across the North Sea, around the Baltic region, and around the Mediterranean Sea, to distribute solar and wind power to and across Europe. It's all part of a plan to boost renewable energy from 8.5 percent of European energy consumption to 20 percent by 2020--and even more thereafter. But the EC, the European Union's executive body, acknowledges that getting these so-called supergrids built will mean forging new agreements between European countries for transmission planning and investment--much as the United States needs more cooperation between states to, for example, move wind power from the Midwest to major cities. "The wind power which consumers demand cannot be delivered without new networks," the EC report says, and "there is little strategic planning" between nations to build the required connections.

"Paying Home Gen customers 15p for every unit of electricity they generate is groundbreaking," said Juliet Davenport, CEO and founder of Good Energy. "It sets the benchmark for a UK feed‐in tariff and signals the importance of rewarding total generation, not just exported electricity."

There is, however, a third way. In Denmark and Germany-world leaders in wind energy development-many commercial-scale wind turbines are installed as single units or in small clusters distributed across the countryside, or scattered around and sometimes within urban agglomerations. And many of these turbines are either owned by the farmers on whose land the turbine stands, or by local residents.

Rentricity, a start-up in New York City, has come up with a hydroelectric generator that lets municipal water facilities generate power. Pressurized water from the facility passes through a turbine, and the turbine produces electricity. The water subsequently comes out of your faucet
