In this whitepaper, PwC discusses the need to ensure that industry players' smart grid goals are in synch with their overall business strategy, and that they closely agree with their customers' and regulators' needs and interests. We report on the growing pains companies in this space have confronted, and outline what companies need to be mindful of as they move forward.

Highlights:
  • Utilities and other stakeholders are redefining their roles in the rapidly expanding smart infrastructure space.
  • Some smart grid industry players are racing to assume early-adopter and industry-leader status--while others are taking a wait-and-see approach.
