Join state and local regulators on this Smart Grid Interoperability Panel (SGIP) webinar to hear how SGIP Member regulators apply their SGIP experiences to improve on-the-job performance by saving valuable real-time Commission resources and better serve their constituents. Participating Member State Commission representatives will highlight specific work of SGIP committees and sub-committees where involvement by state commissioners and their staff have yielded high impact results including the Business & Policy Domain Expert Working Group; Smart Grid Implementation Methods Committee; Smart Grid Cybersecurity Committee Privacy Subgroup; and the Priority Action Plan (PAP-20) for Green Button Energy Services Provider Interface Evolution.

In addition, learn how the activities SGIP members pursue have important state and federal policy implications, such as:
• Preparing guidance for the protection of consumer privacy and consumer access to electricity usage data;
• Developing cybersecurity guidelines for standards that may be incorporated in power system reliability rules and critical infrastructure guidance;
• Highlighting the utilities’ experiences, benefits and issues in implementation of interoperable Smart Grid systems and;
• Identifying performance and reliability requirements for Smart Grid communications.
