If you missed out on the federal stimulus moolah being handed out to various smart grid projects, not to worry — some states are starting funding pools of their own.
California may be the most prominent and aggressive with California Senate Bill 17, which requires state utilities to submit smart grid development plans by the middle of 2011, but other states are also handing out some of their own smart grid grants. Granted, some of that money is also coming out of the federal stimulus money for energy projects, but just because a pool of federal money has been allocated means all bets are off.
