The GridWise Vision

GridWise seeks to modernize the nation's electric system - from central generation to customer appliances and equipment - and create a collaborative network filled with information and abundant market-based opportunities.

Using advanced telecommunications, information and control methods, we can create a "society" of devices that functions as an integrated, transactive system.
