Privacy
and the Smart Grid: How to Address Consumer YOUR PRESENTERS:
The
quantity and quality of the data we expect to gain from the expansion
of the smart grid are staggering. Details on the amount of electricity
being consumed by
individuals
and businesses, down to which appliance is being used, is in part
what makes the smart grid so valuable. But it can reveal sensitive
personal information and that's making some people very nervous.
Public concerns about privacy can pose a serious threat to the smart grid. But how big is that threat really? What are the arguments against the smart grid? And how are those issues being addressed by the industry? Get answers to these questions and more when you participate in the latest Smart Grid Today web conference, "Privacy and the Smart Grid: How to Address Consumer Concerns Without Jeopardizing the Growth of the Grid" on Tuesday, April 13, 2010. Listen as our panel of industry experts provides details on the latest developments in the debate about smart-grid privacy.
