Thanks to the development of cloud hosting, SaaS and managed services, all utilities—particularly smaller ones— can realize the fruition of a fully integrated smart grid infrastructure and a more sustainable future, but there are still many challenges.

  • Does company size really matter when it comes to the types of utilities that will benefit most from these solutions? 
  • How do energy companies ensure the best relationship with their cloud and SaaS partners
  • What is the importance and types of networks/comms to enable such functionality?
