While utilities have started AMI, most haven't leveraged the deep benefits. Smart Grid benefits are about the DATA, not the meter.
Have a great start to 2015!

Still no cohesive national grid security plan unless all utilities upgrade infrastructure and cyber security methods.
Interesting stats on ARRA funding for I and Smart Grid projects. Utilities are still slow to adopt ways to leverage data from AMI.
Our Alaskan Smart Grid as a Service project is a great example of delivering hosted technology to small utilities.
Have a great day! Go Army
Working to find a way to get all utilities the foundation of technology required to have a full featured Smart Grid.
