Smart Grid Communications GE Energy | Jan – May '09

It's Your Smart Grid
The first release of ItsYourSmartGrid.com communicates non-trivial technical concepts to consumers through a distinct combination of straightforward storytelling, a consumer-friendly low-tech style, and cost-effective distributed media to get the word out. As an independently-branded entity, it establishes the basis for a site that will organically grow to become the de facto hub for a consumer community organized around the topic.
Upcoming releases will maximize the value of the core content through partnerships with other distribution channels, e.g. forward-looking utilities and paradigm-shifting energy players, such as Google.org, seeking to educate their customer base.
