And since the inception of the global Smart Grid movement, IEEE has been at the forefront. “In order for Smart Grid to be “Drawing on our experience in successful, there needs to be a power and information technology unified set of well-established global standards and other technical standards in place that all involved resources, Smart Grid is now industries, organizations, and a major focus for IEEE,” said government communities can utilize.” Dr. E. James Prendergast, IEEE Dr. W. Charlton Adams, Jr., President IEEE Standards Association executive director and CEO. “In the future, Smart Grid will help There’s no global organization to oversee all nations’ energy systems transformations—it is a vast movement power providers and consumers in its infancy. With our 38 societies and seven councils make smart energy decisions that IEEE is well-positioned to lead the Smart Grid initiative. will have immediate impact on our And with our more than 395,000 members, who work in the world’s academic, government, and private sectors, daily lives and long-term effects on IEEE touches virtually every aspect of Smart Grid. energy strategies and policy.” We leverage our strong foundation and inclusive collaboration to evolve standards, share best practices, publish developments, and provide related educational offerings to further Smart Grid. We are at the forefront of advancing technology and facilitating successful deployments throughout the world. Working hand in hand with other leading organizations to create one comprehensive set of standards for Smart Grid is the way we can ensure success.
