SGA Mission Statement
As part of our ‘future energy’, smart grids have the potential to improve the economy, lifestyle and environment for Australians. Our mission is to educate, inform and lead the debate to ensure consumers, government and policy makers understand the solutions, benefits and possibilities of smart grids.
- A vision for the electric system of the future – based on sound technical, operational and environmental principles.
- A national initiative to help address the environmental issues in relation to the power industry and make that vision a reality by transforming the infrastructure, technologies and the market.
- An alliance to move that initiative forward, to join voices in favour of a fully modern intelligent electric system.
- An opportunity to participate in an important new market that will revolutionise how electricity is produced, delivered, and used.
