Smart Meters–Smarter Practices recommends ‘open innovation’ approaches to the smart grid based on collaboration and co-creation that “respect security issues, human rights, public health, the environment and the need for beneficial best practice and timely innovation”.

It concludes:

“Those who fail to address such issues may leave themselves at increased risk of economic destabilization, public distrust and ever increasing lawsuits. Cost effective ‘Win/Win’ solutions that benefit the individual, national economies and the environment should be sought wherever practical.”
