Energy management is done through the Internet since it helps delivering information that allows customers and market to make smarter choices.

The investment issues of smart grids are i) enhanced IT ii) communication infrastructure iii) cyber security iv) compatibility on both ends (customer and utility) and v) customer privacy.
