*Having too much information is a commonly heard complaint today. Yet, in the energy and utility industry, millions of smart meters are being deployed with the promise of providing data at unprecedented levels. Many agree that the ability to digest a multitude of smart grid data will be the key to success for the industry. How can we process and analyze the imminent flood of information in a timely and efficient manner?

SMi are pleased to announce their 2nd annual conference on Smart Grids Data and Information Management on the 9th- 10th May in London. With the smart grid and smart meter roll out expanding throughout Europe utilities will need to manage how they handle all this data - how to store it and how to convert it into useful information which can be used to make more profit, locate faults, make the customer savings.
