This has resulted in a call for development and deployment of smart grid and smart metering around the world. KEMA is deeply involved in innovation and the development of new technologies that cover every aspect of these high-profile global initiatives around the world. In particular, we have taken leadership positions in both EU and US Smart Grid initiatives. Our CEO chairs the EU Smart Grid initiative. Our consultants are part of the leadership of the US GridWise Alliance and KEMA contributed to Department of Energy reports on Smart Grid and Storage. KEMA also developed an analysis of the job creation impact of Smart Grid that has found its way into draft legislation. This grew out of innovative work KEMA has done in developing full economic and societal cost-benefit analyses of Smart Grid for utility clients.
