DER: Where to Start? With Who, What, When, Why? How to Build a ROI-Based Roadmap

Presented by: Amar Pradhan, Global Strategy Leader
IBM Energy & Utilities

Thursday, May 4, 2017 | 1:00 – 2:00pm ET

New grid edge technologies are proliferating, and utilities must figure out how to leverage them, or get sidelined in areas of growth. Utility customers are installing rooftop solar, smart appliances, EVs, etc, outside the traditional purview of the utility or regulators.

The mix of IT technologies and business models to optimally interact with these new customer sited resources is critical. What is needed is an expert system integrator who can assess the Utility’s ‘as is’ condition, and roadmap deployment of internal and external technologies that optimally bring the utility to the ‘to be’ scenario that allows them to most profitably leverage DER.

IBM is such a system integrator, and this webinar will explain how to tactically create and deliver such a roadmap.
