The Bits and Pieces Are Getting Smarter: “Around the time NERC’s report was released, Newton-Evans Research Company, Inc. published the results of its grid modernization study. The study found that even with the pandemic, 48% of the utilities it surveyed are planning to launch smart grid projects either in 2020 or 2021. Those results say a great deal about the value of modern digital technology to the stakeholders of the power delivery system.”

“For cooperatives, the success of any of these strategic options can be enhanced by the proper application of automation and information systems. Industry-wide, electric utilities spent between 1.8 and 2.5 percent of annual revenues, about $5 billion, on information systems during 1994, according to Newton-Evans Research. Many experts believe that this proportion will rise to between three and four percent during the 1995-97 timeframe.”
