  1. ICT, energy and data centers; a holistic view John Post Managing director Green IT Amsterdam region Board TKI SWITCH2SmartGrids

  2. Power and pollution, the bad and the ugly European ambitions & reality Dutch ambitions & reality Consortium Green IT Amsterdam region Greening of IT and greening by IT Agenda

  3. Larger energy companies. Large power plants on large distance from energy consumer. More exchange of energy across national borders. Energy in Europe, two parallel trends Europeanization: Localisation • Large number of small power plants (distributed generation, microgrids), renewables, new companies, often small and local. • New forms of cooperation, participation of end users. 2010 2030 2050

  4. … a conducive innovation environment Mindset of creativity, collaboration and reliability Strong and open consultation and concensus model Strivingfor open standardsand open source Strong citizeninvolvement Manycitizeninitiatives, Privacy conciousness, various living labs The Dutch….

  6. Local smart grid Issues: • Localbalancing • New meteringand financial systems • (un)predictability • Power to the people
