Event Details
Wednesday, February 23 from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Speakers: Deepak Divan, Georgia Tech; Humayan Tai, McKinsey & Company; Mike Carlson, GE Energy
The potential of the Smart Grid is enormous: improved energy
efficiency, optimization of power supply and demand, and greater
transparency into power consumption. Theoretically, at some point in
the future, the Smart Grid will allow consumers to specify different
sources of electricity based on costs or environmental attributes.
After a handful of years of innovation, how does this vision align with
today’s reality?
Mike Carlson, General Manager, Smart Grid Solutions, GE Energy
Mike is responsible for setting and driving the vision to leverage GE
Digital Energy’s software portfolio to integrate existing products and
services into a comprehensive customer solution. Prior to his current

investor-owned utility with over 5MM customers. Mike has a MBA from
Pepperdine University.
