GridWise™ Alliance
A Collaborative Venture of the US Department of Energy and the GridWise Alliance

GridWise™ Alliance is a consortium of public and private stakeholders who are aligned around a shared vision. A vision of an electric system that integrates the infrastructure, processes, devices, information and market structure so that energy can be generated, distributed, and consumed more efficiently and cost effectively; thereby achieving a more resilient, secure and reliable energy system. The Alliance members recognize that emerging energy and information technologies have the potential to radically improve the efficient use of the nation’s energy system. The Alliance and its members advocate change locally, regionally, and nationally to promote new policies and technology solutions that move us closer to this vision.

The Alliance provides a forum where members representing a broad range of interests in the electricity sector can meet, exchange ideas, and work cooperatively on a common set of issues, with the goal of moving our industrial-age electric grid into the information age. In addition, the Alliance provides its members with opportunities to interact with senior policy makers on both the federal and state level who, together with industry, will transform the nation’s electric power system.

The Alliance Call to Action

GridWise Alliance has developed a comprehensive Action Plan that identifies the challenges facing the electricity industry as it seeks to realize the GridWise™ vision and proposes a series of goals and actions designed to move us closer to the electric power grid of the 21st century.
