NEW YORK, N.Y., Nov 5, 2014 - (ACN Newswire) - The US gas and electricity networks were not designed to meet today's technology and customer demands, according to Rudy Wynter, President, Federally Regulated Businesses, National Grid. "The world is evolving as technology continues to transform everything we do. Our industry needs to evolve as well," he suggests.
Rudy Wynter spoke at the marcus evans Transmission & Distribution Summit 2014, in Las Vegas, Nevada, November 2-4.
- What is driving the changes in America's gas and electricity networks? Why must a new network paradigm be created?
Our gas and electricity networks, many of which were originally constructed more than 70 years ago, were once hailed as America's greatest technical achievement of the 20th century. The challenge is we now have a digital economy sitting on pre-digital networks. The current infrastructure lacks the efficiency, resiliency, and agility to meet today's needs.
- What opportunities do these changes in the infrastructure present to transmission and distribution companies? What could they capitalize on?
Customers, regulators, and others are looking to their utilities to deliver or integrate renewables, distributed energy resources, and other emerging energy technologies into the grid. This is a tough challenge using a system originally conceived more than a century ago. At National Grid, we believe it is time to create a new paradigm that will serve innovation and customer demands. We need greater agility and resiliency, greater efficiency, smarter transmission and distribution network design, and solutions to the growing interdependency between electricity and natural gas.
- What is Connect 21? How will the Connect21 Framework promote cleaner and more efficient energy?
Connect21, National Grid's vision to modernize and advance our energy networks, links customer needs and policy goals with technology and market solutions. We need innovation in both the regulatory and technology fronts.
At National Grid, we are working hard to change the regulatory paradigm; put customers more in charge by providing them tools, information and control; taking steps to mitigate the effects of climate change on our networks; and embracing technology and new partners.
