Overview
This Energy Insights Perspective discusses the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), recently signed into law by President Obama, which includes more than $4.3 billion of funding, specifically for "smart grid" technology investment. We believe this level of funding will significantly accelerate investment in a wide range of intelligent grid technologies by U.S. electric utilities. However, the timing of this spending by utilities and the distribution of investments across different types of intelligent grid projects still remains unclear. A lot will depend on factors such as the efficiency of the federal grant application and approval process, the role of state public utility commissions (PUCs) in approving the projects, and the ability of utilities to organize the required processes and resources.
