Smart grid is a hot topic among utilities, policymakers, regulators, news organizations, and consumers. Unfortunately, despite the ongoing public debate, the "smart" element is not well understood by many.

Smart grid announcements, projects, and opinions tend to focus narrowly on either new meter and AMI deployments or new tools for displaying electricity use and prices at the customer's residence. While these technologies are certainly components of a smart grid, they reflect the sort of basic upgrades needed to replace old electromechanical meters with modern products that harness digital technologies and IT for monitoring, measuring, and displaying information.
