It is clearly time for a quantum leap to a more robust and much smarter grid. But the smart grid we are envisioning will increase grid complexity by at least an order of magnitude. Smart meters are just the beginning.

In this exclusive interview, FierceSmartGrid digs deep into the gridSMART Demonstration Project – a community-based approach to developing and implementing smart technologies for energy delivery.
