Abstract
This paper tries to explore the industrial consumers' adoption of the Smart Grid solutions by investigating the socio - technical interaction between human and non-human actors of the Smart Grid. An ICT-adoption model integrated with the Actor Network Theory is adopted in this paper. Based on the case study approach with four Danish companies, this paper not only presents the influential factors to Smart Grid adoption (i.e., acceptance and continuous participation) by industrial consumers, but also the key activities that may affect the adoption process. The results reveal that the Smart Grid adoption is determined by the technologic availability and the consumers' behavioral change.
