"Nonetheless, continued state belief and involvement in smart grid energy will lay the groundwork for market development. Below are the 10 states involved and growing in the smart grid market.
- California
- Colorado
- Florida
- Massachusetts
- New Jersey
- New York
- North Carolina
- Ohio
- Pennsylvania
- Texas
As smart grid analyst, Stephen Munro, commented in a statement, “These 10 states are the laboratories for U.S. smart grid policy, and their influence on the pace and scope of deployment is durable and growing. Smart grid technology players will look to current state regulations for near-term activity, as well as to anticipate how smart grid initiatives will adapt on a broader scale.”
All of the above 10 states are influential in the growth and adoption of smart grid, but not all are equal. California is leading with a metering goal of 21 million, while Texas is looking for a metering goal of 7 million. California’s metering infrastructure is long past start, allowing utilities to start thinking about electric vehicles, energy efficiency, etc. Texas has a smart grid portal for residents and a regulatory implementation team for charging electric vehicles."
