- 3. What is the Smart Grid? I coined the term “Smart Grid” on April 24, 2007 at an IDC Energy Conference in Chicago, IL. Smart Grid = Electric Grid + Communications Network + Hardware + Software The Smart Grid monitors, controls, and manages the creation, distribution and consumption of energy. The Smart Grid of the future is distributed, interactive, self-healing and reaches every device. © 2003 - 2009 Austin Energy. All Rights Reserved
