An introduction to the Universal Smart Energy Framework

On the 30th of April 2014 the USEF Foundation  presented the first copy ‘An introduction to the Universal Smart Energy Framework’ to Manuel Sanchez, Team Leader Smart Grids of the EU Commission DG  Energy, at the Smart Grid Summit in Malaga. The presented introduction  summarizes the concepts of USEF and is accompanied by an entertaining allegoric tale that illustrates the potential impact of the energy framework on our  society.

Organisation

USEF was founded by seven key players, active across the smart energy industry. Their goal: to accelerate the establishment of an integrated smart energy system which benefits all stakeholders, from energy companies to consumers. The foundation is no longer active, yet USEF’s work is still available for referencing.
