Paris, France – October, 11 2012
Clipperton Finance and GIMV today hosted a round table breakfast event at the Pavillon Gabriel in Paris focusing on the question:
“What Business Models and which Market Design for a Smarter Grid in Europe?”
The event attracted leading industry players and decision markers (large energy groups, large equipment and solution providers, VC funds, young technology companies….)
As companies struggle to make the most of grid improvements, several fundamental questions emerge:
- Does the current market design incentivize energy efficiency at a fair level?
- Which market design could help consolidating the fragmented value of smart grid?
- How to stimulate the development of large scale technological smart grid companies?
- How to deal with the different national market structures in Europe?
The roundtable provided detailed insights on the market and featured primary players in the ecosystem, from large companies to start-ups:
