IssuesLetter - Smart Grid or Smart Policies: Which Comes First?
|
| David Moskovitz and Lisa Schwartz July 2009
|
| PDF 1MB |
|
With the great expectations for smart grid, and billions of dollars in smart grid
grants to be divvied up under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, commissions
are looking for value in the concept and trying to determine what consumers
will get in return for their money. Bottom line: Smart grids should be accompanied
by smart policies or their full potential will not be realized and the cost to consumers
will exceed the benefits. Like the Internet, another communications technology, it all
comes down to content. Smart policies create the content for smart grids and should not
lag behind their roll-out. A smart grid without smart policies is anything but smart.
