Smart Grid Goes to College

March 4, 2010

Envisioning the large-scale rollout of the Smart Grid over the next several years is a daunting task involving a wealth of assumptions and predictions ranging from human behavior to economics to technology. Part of the equation leading to a successful rollout is a skilled utility workforce that understands the technology and can not only install, but maintain it for a large customer base. A technical college in Cincinnati just announced that it will offer a Smart Grid major next fall to meet the projected demand. Power Grid International magazine blog offered a nice commentary as well.
