In the past year, the grid has seen some remarkable highs, while also being tested to meet the basic needs of society.
On the other hand, the idea of progress has been challenged by a slew of weather woes that have shaken consumer confidence in our energy infrastructure. A series of intense storms, heat waves and drought made 2012 one of the toughest years globally for the grid in many years. A new stage is opening - where the public was once ambivalent about the smart grid, consumers are now starting to demand these improvements, spurred by the need to improve reliability, participation and the resiliency to recover from large-scale grid events. Here's what's in store for 2013... Via Lauren Moss

El “I Congreso Smart Grids” destaca las oportunidades de las Redes Eléctricas para ahorrar energía, generar trabajo y ofrecer nuevos servicios de valor añadido para los usuarios.
El Congreso ha estado organizado por FUTURED, AFME y Grupo Tecma Red. El evento contó además con el apoyo institucional y la colaboración de MATELEC (fema), IDAE y MINECO.
Unas redes eléctricas cada vez más inteligentes integrarán de forma óptima la generación, el consumo y los futuros clientes que a la vez se puedan comportar como consumidores y generadores, aportando mejoras en la capacidad, fiabilidad y sostenibilidad del sistema y constituyendo así un eje estratégico para permitir conseguir los objetivos de ahorro y eficiencia energética marcados por la Unión Europea y sus Estados miembros.

Pedro Joaquin Coldwell was appointed Secretary of Energy by Enrique Peña Nieto.
Born in 1950, Coldwell has a law degree from the Universidad Iberoamericana, until his appointment as head of the Department of Energy (Sener), was president of the PRI's National Executive Committee and has been local and federal deputy, senator and governor of Quintana Roo .
The new Secretary of Energy was also Secretary of Tourism under President Carlos Salinas de Gortari and later, general coordinator of the Mexican Commission for Aid to Refugees of the Ministry of Interior.He was also head of the government delegation to the peace talks in Chiapas and Mexico's Ambassador to Cuba.
"Leading SENER, you have a man who has not politically discussed anything, has behaved like a connoisseur- a firm believer of the rule of law", said David Penchyna, president of the Senate Energy Committee. "Distinguished by his bargaining, dialogue, openness ... It is an appointment that will help honest discussion with Mexican society, with the potential for public policies that build the country. "
We now require an honest rule with concrete proposals by Coldwell, whose existing resources must translate into tangible gains for Mexicans.

While Germany is considered a leader in biomass, solar, and wind, it sorely lags behind in a number of related areas, such as smart grids. Almost no near real-time power rates are offered, few smart meters have been installed, and the market is not designed to produce these changes.
Today, Renewables International presents a previously unpublished study completed in November by German energy expert Marian Bichler, who provides an excellent overview of what has been done up to now, what is being discussed, and why proponents of renewables need to get involved.
