Efficiency is the Fifth Fuel
Improved energy efficiency could cut the rapidly growing rate of energy consumption by more than half over the next 15 years, according to the McKinsey Global Institute.
There is no option-a dramatic transformation of distribution infrastructure is required.
Today and in the near-term, millions of dollars are being invested in technologies to effect these changes, including distributed energy generation and storage, more efficient appliances, and smart-house technologies that allow users to better control energy use.
The challenge is in connecting these devices, which is made possible by Silver Spring Networks. The company designs and delivers a proven technology for connecting these technologies cost effectively with an impressive ROI that improves utility efficiency, reliability, and customer service while reducing costs.
