Smart Grid City

SmartGridCity is the US’s first fully integrated smart grid community and will boast the largest and densest concentration of these emerging technologies to date. Boulder, Colorado has been selected as the site of SmartGridCity.

Something that is being termed the Smart Grid is seen as a power system that combines traditional and cutting-edge technology to create a much-improved electric grid. That grid would, in turn, support the ever-increasing array of digital services desired by consumers, while effectively managing the requisite massive flow of energy.
Over the next several years, SmartGridCity will offer the potential for:
Adding more clean and green power sources in our fuel mix—greatly improving power delivery and reliability while optimizing environmental benefits.

• A grid that allows more choice about when, how much and what kind of energy you use.
• A digitally enhanced, more resilient and stable energy grid that is less prone to outages and improves power reliability.
• More energy efficiency and conservation options to manage your energy dollar
