We’re a partner of Low Carbon London, an initiative to
reduce CO. UK Power Networks is also a close partner.
Additionally, we’re working closely with the London
Develop ment Agency in realizing the smart grid in the
Green Enterprise District of London, Europe’s largest
urban regeneration project.

This came about through a conversation with UK Power
Networks and Siemens and with other partners. We
realized we had an opportunity to get a lot of money in-
vested in London to understand how our grid works,
how it will work in the future, how smart technology will
integrate with our network, where it’s failed in lots of
other cities. We’re very hopeful that this investment in
London is going to succeed.
