GE is working to
change the world
The worldwide
community needs
to change the way
it regulates utilities
and power distribu-
tion. GE is working
to help.
Through education and outreach to regulators, governments and
organizations worldwide, GE is advocating a re-examination and
restructuring of how utilities are overseen and regulated. Current
thinking was developed for the current grid ­ neither is up to the job
at hand anymore.
Setting the standard ­ literally
The smart grid's new transmission and distribution technologies need
new, uniform, performance-based standards. GE is taking an active
role on standards committees and governing boards throughout the
world. We're lending our experience to help make standards practical,
attainable, safe and affordable.
As a major standards influencer, GE's smart grid solutions are designed
to be in line with performance and compliance requirements being
created worldwide.
There's never enough innovation to satisfy us
While everyone at GE is certainly proud of our invention and leader-
ship, we're also smart enough to know that we don't have a lock on
innovation. And, we don't want one. The best way for the smart grid
to grow and thrive is with new ideas and better products being
developed all the time.
GE advocates a smart grid built on open systems to encourage
ongoing innovation from companies large and small, everywhere in
the world. It's everybody's smart grid, and we believe open systems
should keep it that way.
Open to collaboration
The name you trust for objective performance across the smart grid
is GE. We're committed to bringing you the right solutions for your
grid performance ­ even if they're not GE solutions. So, we openly
collaborate with other technology companies to integrate products
and streamline solutions. Because it's all about working smarter.
Building the grid for the next 100 years
GE has been in the power grid business since day one. We're proud
of that accomplishment. And, we're proud of the advances our tech-
nology has brought to light in parts of three centuries. Today, we stand
ready to build the smart grid foundation for the next century of power
transmission and distribution. It's a commitment that helps complete
the GE smart grid advantage.
Real. Smart. Solutions.
The smart grid is here. All you need to get
started is a smart conversation with GE.
We're building it today.
