Co-ordinating the smart grid

摘要

Over 40 industry CEOs and leaders met in June for the two-day Smart Electricity World conference in Melbourne to discuss smart grid issues. Energy Network Association (ENA) director of smart networks policy, Tanya Barden opened the first day to discuss Australia positioning itself at the forefront of smart energy. In giving the opening address to Smart Electricity World, Mrs Barden spoke of the need for all stakeholders to co-ordinate knowledge and efforts to develop the policies and procedures necessary to deliver smart networks in a timely and cost effective manner. Ms Barden gave an overview of the work ENA is undertaking to realise the vision for change and prepare for the energy revolution. One of ENA's main priorities is finalisation of its Smart Network Policy Framework, which aims to further the industry's thinking and give all key stakeholders high level guidance on what needs to be done to deliver efficient and effective smart networks.
