COMPONENTS OF THE ENERGY WEB

The Market.

The Energy Web, like the Internet is a networked technology. The Internet lets people on the network share resources. The Energy Web allows everyone connected by its network to share power as well as the expense of creating that power.

BPA described the Energy Web in this way:

"The integration of the utility electrical system, telecommunications system, and the energy market to optimize loads on the electrical network, reduce costs to consumers and utilities, facilitate the integration of renewable resources, increase electrical system reliability and reduce environmental impacts of load growth."
