ICT Vendors to Benefit from Regulatory Changes in the EU Energy Market, Says Frost & Sullivan PR Newswire LONDON, Nov. 15, 2012 -- Web conference on trends and projections for smart energy development and growing ICT adoption in the industry, on Tuesday, 27 November 2012 LONDON, Nov. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Higher energy efficiency, CO2 reduction and expansion of renewable energy sources are cornerstones of the current EU energy policy. Changes in the macro environment require a new approach from energy utilities. While traditional functions of operators or energy producers are well established, those related to asset or process optimisation are still in their infancy. Meeting environmental goals will not be possible without extensive implementation of smart technologies in the energy sector. Frost & Sullivan will host a web conference entitled "Smart Grid Deployment Framework in the EU – How ICT Vendors Can Benefit from Regulatory Changes" on Tuesday, 27 November 2012, at 14.00 GMT. Research Analyst, ICT, Ewa Tajer will discuss the changing regulatory landscape in the EU, with special regard to the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland and Sweden. The briefing will focus on how ICT vendors can benefit from the shift in the European energy policy. "A smart grid is a matter of when, not if. However, its development requires changes to the regulatory and business framework, which strongly affects producers' and operators' development strategy," notes Ewa Tajer.
