Intelligent Utility : “As the technology and energy industries continue to evolve, we are seeing more governments take steps to ensure energy conservation, emission reduction in generation, greater energy efficiency, energy quality, and transparency in energy distribution and consumption. This includes drastic changes to policies related to energy generation, transmission, distribution and supply. Power and energy companies now have to adapt to these new regulatory guidelines, and begin embracing new technologies to create more environmentally friendly products and strategies for customers.”
