So many Grid Reforms, so little time...

Markets and Innovation
Written By Toby Considine

A blogger on Power Encounter recently made me aware of an Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) report on the different grid modernization efforts underway in the US, and a comparison of their efforts.

It makes a good read, comparing the initiatives on their technical meris.  I think it does not give enough credibility to the liberalizing and energizing effect of markets on innovation, and thereby underplays the benefits of GridWise AC.
