disasters such as Hurricane Irene transport smart grid
technology to the forefront because it provides a major
opportunity to minimize power loss for storm-affected
communities (actually the East Coast of the U.S., along the
path of Irene, has many proposed projects under
consideration or in development). The energy industry has
taken notice as the number of installed and operational
smart meters across all U.S. Smart Grid Investment Grant
