As part of the Obama Administration’s commitment to moving the nation towards energy independence, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has contracted with the Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. (EPRI) to help it develop an interim “Roadmap” for Smart Grid standards interoperability.
To allow various industry stakeholders to provide comments and suggestions to the Roadmap, NIST is organizing a workshop on April 28-29 to review the high-level principles for the Roadmap and a second workshop on May 19-20 to review the draft findings and recommendations from the Roadmap. The first Roadmap Workshop will be held at the Hyatt Regency at Reston Town Center, 1800 Presidents Street in Reston, Virginia. The second Roadmap workshop's location will be announced at a later date.
Both workshops are open to the public and free of charge.
Utilities Executive and Technical Staff, Regulators, Vendors, Builders, State and Federal Government Personnel, Consumer Advocates, Engineers, Planners and Integrators are strongly recommended to attend.
NIST welcomes your participation in both of these events to provide input to the draft Roadmap.
