The folks at eMeter are involved in quite a few projects with utilities seeking American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) 2009 funding for Smart Grid. We believe good IT solutions can make the reporting process easily transparent, and less onerous for both utilities and for the watchdogs who will be checking Recovery.org for signs of progress.

We’d like to see your thoughts. What performance metrics and milestones would prove to YOU that Smart Grid implementations are progressing, and that our tax dollars are truly advancing the Smart Grid? Post comments with the link below, and we will publish them (after the usual spam-screening process).
