Senate to Examine Smart Grid Technology

Even though Congress recently approved $11 billion for it in the stimulus bill, many are still unclear as to what smart grid technology really entails. As a result, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee will take up this issue in a hearing on Tuesday.
“Clearly, everyone agrees we should do more,” Chairman Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) said, “but we know we have to get down to the details of what does that mean.”
Witnesses at the hearing will range from the Department of Energy to Google. As we noted recently, Google has jumped head-on into the smart grid debate by strongly advocating the use of open standards and protocols for all smart grid technologies that are funded by the government.
