New Market Report: Smart Grid Benefits for the US Economy Remain a Pipe Dream in 2010

June 3, 2010 - PRLog -- The roll out of smart grid in the US is expected to create new jobs and a market that will help the country in overcoming recession. The disbursement of funds to utilities for this purpose has already taken place but it is uncertain if their positive effects will be felt by 2010. Misconceptions about smart grid technologies and customers' insecurities will be major barriers to the early deployment of the smart grid. The business benefits of off-shoring smart grid information services will motivate the US utilities to award data management jobs to vendors in offshore destinations. The fact that certain smart grid technologies have not yet been tested will further delay the implementation of smart grid technology on a large scale, thus delaying its expected economic benefits.
