Accenture has accepted Clarity, along with ST Electronics, to implement Phase 1 of the Intelligent Energy System (IES) pilot project spearheaded by Singapore’s Energy Market Authority.
The IES is an important step towards a smarter power grid, which will provide its consumers more information, choice and control over their electricity usage.
Phase 1 of the IES pilot project will involve around 4,500 customers in residential, commercial and industrial settings, including the Nanyang Technological University campus, the CleanTech Park at Jalan Bahar and the Punggol Eco-Precinct.
This will take place during 2010-12 with a key emphasis to establish the smart metering communication protocols and standards.
