Following on the current  trends in accelerated  smart meter rollout and comprehensive smart grid R&D and  demonstration projects,  the smart grid market in Europe will experience considerable development over the next decade.

In addition, the utilities across the region need to comply with rigorous energy efficiency mandates  to integrate larger percentage of renewable energies into the grid. A new report from GTM Research forecasts the cumulative European smart grid technology market to hit 3.1 billion Euros in 2012, with that number set to increase 120% to 6.8 billion Euros in 2016.

Transmission & Distribution/Smart Grid Europe 2012 will set a stage  for the key European  energy experts to scrutinize newest smart grid  developments and discuss investments in both capacity infrastructure and decentralized  automated network. They will give updates on the current regulatory & financial mechanisms and what efforts utilities and governments need to make to transition to ‘smart grid’. 

Smart grid has many definitions; principally, it is about energy efficiency &  reliability  and technological advancements that will change how the network is operated and  how electricity  is produced, stored and consumed. In the future we will use renewable power (wind, hydro, solar, etc.) in a more integrated way to create electricity; we will also produce it at home,  and we will use it to power our electrical vehicles,  and our home in-built sensors will automatically manage when appliances are turned on and off.
