Smart Grid: Enabler of the New Energy Economy

At the request of the U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE), the Electricity Advisory Committee (EAC)
puts forward this report on the nation’s goal to
transform its electric power delivery system (the
energy grid) into a more intelligent, resilient, reliable,
self-balancing, and interactive network that enables
enhanced economic growth, environmental
stewardship, operational efficiencies, energy security,
and consumer choice. In this report, EAC offers DOE
recommendations on how to transform the nation’s
grid to meet that goal.
