While investments in communication technology companies and advanced metering firms once saw the lion’s share of capital attraction, we are now seeing a shift in financing to frontier areas such as robotics, AI, and distributed generation managemnt platforms. This is largely in sync with the initial vision for smart grid technologies, were investment in foundational infrastructure, enabling situational awareness where possible was once the order of the day. The steep rise on software firms across the industry is a testament to an initial wave of successful deployments in the US and globally.
