Thank you
To SGA for hosting the event To Paul for inviting me to speak Look forward to networking opportunity And opportunity to share perspective Caveats:
Focus on customer empowerment, not smart grid/smart city Focus on challenges – not necessarily solutions Not an expert on local issues/debate Narrative repeated elsewhere

What is clear, and not
What is CLEAR Traditional utility business challenged … for all the reasons that are broadly known
What is NOT clear How, when, or will incumbents respond? … or will they be replaced partially or totally?
Outcome depends on many variables … most important local politics

SecondRenewable flood
Who? Denmark: 100% renewable by 2050 Germany 85% by 2050 + nuclear phase out by 2022 California 33% by 2020; just increased to 50% by 2030
What for? Climate change, end of fossil age How?
US: Renewable portfolio standards (RPS) Europe/Australia: Feed-in-Tariffs (FITs) + targets
Latest twist: Renewables are cheap! Example 1: PPAs below 4 cents/kWhrs Example 2: Merchant solar plants

Future will be … Grid light, distributed, ZNE, micro-grid Integrated, it is not either/or Not necessarily distributed On the wall as in Tesla’s PowerWall Renewable & increasingly solar Unpredictable & varies from place to place Depends on regulation/policy Bifurcated: Haves & have not, as in income inequality On a platform

Platforms & power of aggregation
In “The Age of Platform: How Amazon, Apple, Facebook & Google have Redefined Business” Paul Simon defines:
“A platform is an extremely valuable and powerful ecosystem that quickly and easily scales, morphs, and incorporates new features, users, customers, vendors, and partners. Platforms 1) embrace 3rd Party Collaboration; 2) foster Symbiotic, Mutually Beneficial Relationships; 3) move beyond Selling to Promote Customer Utility and Communications; and 4) become the Means for Rapid Adaptation.”
