Fw: DistribuTECH 2015: What's the killer app for the smart grid? There isn't one.

Via UtilityDive

This post from UtilityDive.com sums up why there is no consensus about a "killer app" in the power distribution industry, and I agree with the statements.

From my personal experience, a few years ago, companies large and small set on discovering what was the equivalent of Facebook in the power distribution world. As you reflect on the needs that utilities want to address, the outcome boiled down to a few sets of narrow needs, such as "how to I track asset usage", "who is not paying his bills", or "where are customers suffering power outages." When the industry gets solid solutions to these questions, I think time will come to research the next big opportunities.
