Hi Jayesh,
Thanks for your comment. I will discuss the business, management, and legal issues around open innovation in future posts.

One of the keys to the smart grid could be the Virtual Power Plant concept developed by CEO Neal Verfuerth of Orion Energy Systems (Orion is one of the major case studies in our recently published Conquering Innovation Fatigue from John Wiley & Sons). Good combination of innovation in technology, business methods, and relationships with government. Nice example of Green Capitalism. Companies on the Orion system can receive requests to cut back on power to meet demands elsewhere on the grid, and when they trim lighting or other sources of power consumption (wireless tech, control systems and sensors help here), they are rewarded for the power reduction which in essence returns power to the grid. Nice approach!
