AMI and Smart Grid requires a thorough plan with an understanding of the Economics which are attainable with process changes.
While utilities have started AMI, most haven't leveraged the deep benefits. Smart Grid benefits are about the DATA, not the meter.

Do you know Rease Griffith? ('83 also). He's in NJ
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.
Working to find a way to get all utilities the foundation of technology required to have a full featured Smart Grid.
