Between GridWeek sessions last week, I sat down with Marie Hattar, VP Network Systems and Security Solutions Marketing at Cisco, and talked with her about upcoming breakthroughs in smart grid data solutions, standards and interoperability of platforms, and Cisco’s smart grid plans.

Marie and other Cisco team members were among the thought-leaders at the GridWeek conference, and Marie wrapped up the week by moderating a session on “The Future of the Electric Utility – Business Models.” I’ve included some of her comments from that session as well as our interview (which, as you can tell from the footage, was my first on-camera interview and rough on my end).
