Smart Grids
How do they work?
Smart meters
Provide the Smart Grids interface between the prosumer and the energy service provider
A Smart meter records the current electricity flow at regular intervals
The usage information is sent to the data communications company
Your energy supplier then recieves information about your electricity usage
An accurate energy bill is sent based on your consumption, which will help you keep track
Smart Grids benefits
Allow the switch from centralized to decentralized energy production
Reduce utility bills for consumers through the local energy generation and better asset management
Reduce the chance of domino blackouts making the grid more resilient
Reduce global warming through the integration of decentralized renewable energy sources such as PV and wind into the grid

Smart Grids and green energy related jobs
Work related to the Smart Grids is expected to result in about 280 000 new positions.
Employment in the EU enviromental economy rose from 2.8 million full-time equivalent jobs in 2000 to 4.5 million full-time equivalents in 2016.
Almost one million new full-time equivalent jobs have been created in the EU between 2000 and 2017 through renewables and energy-efficiency measures.
Employment related to renewables and energy efficiency grew by a factor of 2.6 since 2000.
