Smart solutions in the utility sector require complex integration and security management across vendors and enterprises and the private domain. This integration requires knowledge of how a utility interacts with its customers, suppliers, other utilities and government agencies.

eComp Consultants has a broad range of experience in the utility and telecommunication industries. Our consultants serve on strategic government standards committees to ensure our utility customers have the latest information regarding security and integration requirements impacting the Smart Grid.

In addition, our consultants have extensive experience in the legal community where Smart Grid technology is being tested for compliance and conformance to government regulation and intellectual property law.

eComp Consultants distributes a monthly watchdog reports to company executives and legal counsel within the energy sector of the utility industry. The report, entitled “Utility Litigation Alerts”, provides timely information on litigation activity occurring throughout the industry involving intellectual property pertaining to smart grid technology. It also serves as early warning against potential risks of such litigation causing negative impacts to smart grid project initiatives.
