Thanks to the demand response and smart grid community for attending the 2010 National Town Meeting on Demand Response and Smart Grid on June 23 & 24, 2010, in Washington, DC!
Based on feedback received on site at the event, it seems to have been the best Town Meeting to date! It certainly was the largest, with nearly 400 stakeholders attending. And judging from the speakers’ engagement, the questions from attendees, and the vigorous discussions before, during, and after sessions, it may prove to be a pivotal event in moving the demand response and smart grid agenda forward.
Additional thanks goes to Congressman Ed Markey (D-MA), who took time out of his schedule as the Chair of the House Select Committee on Energy Independence & Global Warming and the Chair of the House Energy & Environment Subcommittee to explain why demand response and smart grid are so important to him---and why he values the work being done by the National Town Meeting participants.
