GridWise optimizes resources by integrating all elements of the electric system and allowing them to work together in smarter, faster ways. Taking advantage of new and existing technologies, GridWise integrates the energy infrastructure, processes, devices, information and markets into a collaborative arrangement that allows energy to be generated, distributed and consumed more efficiently.

Similar to the nervous system in a living organism, GridWise enables devices at all levels within the grid - from utility to consumer - to independently sense, anticipate and respond to real-time conditions by accessing, sharing and acting on real-time information.

With GridWise, the management, planning and operation of the electric system becomes truly collaborative; communications and reaction times are instantaneous; productivity increases across the board; costs decrease for all participants; and overall service improves.
