Smart Grid Vision and Roadmap for the UK

The Smart Grid Forum’s vision for a Great Britain smart grid is:

• a smart electricity grid that develops to support an efficient, timely transition to a low carbon economy
• to help the UK:
  • meet its carbon reduction targets,
  • ensure energy security and wider energy goals
  • while minimizing costs to consumers.

In modernizing the UK’s energy system, the smart grid will underpin flexible, efficient networks and create jobs, innovation and growthto 2020 and beyond. It will empower and incentivise consumers to manage their demand, adopt new technologies and minimize costs to their benefit and that of the electricity system as a whole.
