The Michigan Public Service Commission directed the MPSC staff to convene a statewide collaborative on smart grid infrastructure to improve the state's electric grid.

Smart grid developments include emerging technologies designed to improve the efficiency, reliability and security of the electric grid. A smart grid would feature developments such as advanced metering; monitors and sensors throughout to help control power flows; self-monitoring; automated restoration when disruptions occur; and price information provided to customers.

The Commission is requiring all regulated electric distribution companies to participate in the collaborative and invites participation from other interested parties.
