Ushering in the smart grid Era with Silver Spring

Public policy is a driving force in bringing tomorrow's smart grid to bear on today's challenges. Toward this goal, Silver Spring works with utility customers, policymakers, and regulatory stakeholders to usher in the smart grid era:

Silver Spring supports our utility customers’ efforts to secure regulated cost recovery of smart grid investments, take full advantage of policies aimed at accelerating smart grid deployments, and implement robust smart grid solutions that will deliver lasting value.
Silver Spring informs policymakers about how the smart grid can help lower pollutant emissions by boosting energy efficiency, save our economy billions of dollars by reducing outages, and improve energy independence by enabling vehicle electrification.
Silver Spring collaborates with regulatory stakeholders to ensure that emerging smart grid policies and projects align with their agendas and advocate for robust, cost-effective policies and projects to generate tangible value across many fronts. Silver Spring’s network provides gains in grid efficiency and reliability, renewables support, emissions reduction, and job creation.
