Research and Markets: Government Grants cannot Spearhead the Deployment of Smart Grid Alone

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8c82a0/government_grants) has announced the addition of GlobalData 's new report "Government Grants cannot Spearhead the Deployment of Smart Grid Alone" to their offering.

Government Grants cannot Spearhead the Deployment of Smart Grid Alone provides an analysis on the effect of government grants in facilitating the spread of smart grids. Government funding cannot act as the sole driving force for the deployment of smart grids. Smart grid projects, which focus on energy efficiency and reliability, also need support from private capital investments, regulatory structures and frameworks.

Technology standards and protocols also need to be finalized in key smart grid areas in order to solve issues such as cyber security vulnerability and interoperability. A loan guarantee provided solely by the government cannot help small vendors to proliferate in the smart grid market. In addition to this, new technology that follows a consumer-centric approach must be made user-friendly.
