Smart Grid

The ISO is committed to understanding how advanced technologies and emerging resources impact and support reliable grid and market operations. Together with our stakeholders, the ISO is working to pilot and implement smart grid technologies that support integration of renewable resources and maintain reliability. Our initiatives include increasing grid visibility and transmission system utilization, enhancing physical and cyber security, and exploring ways automation and advanced metering can foster participation from demand response resources in our market. It is all about giving consumers the power to make choices that benefit their utility bill and the environment while maintaining a reliable system.
