The Department of Energy and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, a lab funded by the DOE and managed by Battelle, recently completed a pilot project titled: The Pacific Northwest GridWise™ Demonstration Project.

This is a high tech approach aimed at helping our country realize the potential of “smart technology.” To read more about this project visit the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Via: Treehugger
