For its part, BPLG is dedicated to leading development and deployment of smart grid solutions that improve energy efficiency and facilitate use of clean energy technologies. Significant gains in energy efficiency are imperative for a sustainable energy future. The smart grid can effectively engage customers in managing energy use for efficiencies often as high as 15%. The smart grid also reduces peak demand providing significant congestion reduction on electrical networks. Connecting management of electric load, energy storage, and renewable generation offers significant potential for improvements in energy efficiency and can help achieve the goal of 20% to 30% renewables by 2020 in many areas around the world. Smart grid solutions are integral to a sustainable energy future.
