Smart Power

In this accessible and insightful book, Peter Fox-Penner considers how
utilities interact with customers and how the Smart Grid could
revolutionize their relationship. He considers the costs of, and
tradeoffs between, large-scale power sources such as coal plants and
small-scale power sources close to customers. Finally, he looks at how
utilities can respond to all of these challenges and remain viable,
while financing hundreds of billions of dollars of investment without
much of an increase in sales. This Anniversary Edition includes
up-to-date assessments of the industry by such leading energy experts
as Daniel Estes and Jim Rogers, as well as a new afterword from the
author.
