Saying it could lead to more efficient use of energy and thus cut operating costs, the California Department of General Services is partnering with the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) to tap a federal grant to design, run, and manage an urban “smart grid” utility system with different types, and sizes, of clients.
The $127.5 million program is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy as part of the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009.
