Importance of framework to better understand and share transformation

Smart Grid Maturity Model (SGMM) has been used as a resource for utility
industry transformation by more than 100 utilities. Utilities leveraged thismanagement tool to ensure that all aspects of transformation
planning are considered, prioritize their options, and measure their progressas they move toward the realization of a smart grid.
Partners and suppliers have a better understanding of the smart grid level atwhich a utility company is positioned by sharing the current status, and canbetter answer for proposal.

For prosumers to make a better decision and action is on-going.
Discussion on a collaboration model between supply and demand is being made.

1. Data from/to devices in homes and buildings
2. Usage data from smarter meter to a gateway (Home/Building)
3. Collaboration between utility companies and service providers
