Investors' Perspectives on Investment Strategies for Energy Efficiency-Driven Sectors
This panel of venture capital and equity investors will discuss the overall prospects for energy efficiency and demand management technologies, as well as the potential market in residential, commercial and industrial sectors for energy efficiency technologies.
Opportunities for Utility Technology Applications—Smart Grid, AMI and Energy Storage Systems for Demand Management & Response
Major efforts are underway in the U.S. to increase the intelligence of the grid and increase the information flow to and from customer sites. This panel will examine the current state of technology and progress being made to overcome the hurdles of introducing new technologies in a traditionally conservative industry.
