RT G: US DoE & ESI

The future of smart energy technology is here and will continue to combine big data, artificial intelligence and sensors to transform how we generate, transmit, distribute and consume energy. This new wave of innovation will transform our society, fundamentally changing the skillsets needed for jobs in the energy industry. Over the next 10 years, emerging economies will account for at least $13.6 billion in smart grid infrastructure investment. A large part of that will be driven by energy companies in Southeast Asia. This technological revolution opportunity is transformational and inspiring, but not without challenges.

In particular, some technologies are being developed and deployed without fully understanding the cyber security implications. According to the US Department of Homeland Security, the energy sector is one of the most targeted sectors by cyber attackers. The US is by no means alone: cyber attackers have targeted energy companies globally compromising energy and national security, large and small businesses and potential future prosperity. This trend will continue to increase as an ever-growing number of energy technology devices connect and send information to and from grids.

The DOE-ESI roundtable will address the following:

  • What are the latest policy initiatives and technological advancements in addressing evolving cyber security threats?
  • How can the international community work together to secure the global energy infrastructure?
  • As smart energy technology continues to develop and grid connectivity increases, how can we best balance the opportunities and challenges it brings?
