Technology Decisions Have

Impacts Beyond Operations

Missed opportunities, second-guessed technology decisions, and deployment missteps can cause:

• Questions from regulators about utility technology roadmaps

• Friction and delays in utility decisions from ratepayers, taxpayers, and voters requiring more information

SGIP helps you avoid these outcomes



p: 781-876-8857 | e: info @SGIP.org

• Supports the freedom to choose and to change

• Underlies future economic well-being

• Demands the private sector take charge and not just be observers

Interoperability Is Not an Entitlement,

but…
