Chapter 2 in Energy Efficiency, 2009, pp 13-17 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The author cites reports of the cost shock that customers face to pay for electricity generation and transmission systems reliability and capacity problems. She then reveals the equally serious backlog of investment needed to pay for aged and unreliable customer production and distribution systems and the associated investment uncertainty. She explains how customers and suppliers have opposing business goals and how by integrating investments in energy supply systems on both sides of the utility meter, savings in energy supply system efficiencies become an investment opportunity for both suppliers and customers. With proper application of web-based information technology, financial benefits can be realized and risk mitigated.
