Smart Grid 101 Video

As smart grid has rapidly escalated to the top of energy priority lists of utilities and communities around the world, the landscape has gotten increasingly noisy and difficult to understand. Because of the underlying complexities surrounding the move to a smarter grid, grasping the concept of what makes a grid smart and what this means to the lives of everyone who consumes electricity is sometimes difficult.

To help all the stakeholders who will benefit from a smarter grid to understand why a modernized grid is important, what it means to them and why they should care, Accenture has created a short, fun, informative video that conveys the commitment of the power industry to 21st century electric systems that connect everyone to abundant, affordable, clean, efficient and reliable electric power anytime, anywhere. 

This video features children who pose questions about the smart grid to industry leaders from around the world–leaders who respond with answers that are friendly, compelling and thought-provoking and who provide insights on the coming of age of a whole new generation of technologies and energy consumption habits.
