EPRI Analysis estimates costs of fully developing US smart grid could reach $476B; benefits up to $2T

Green Car Congress

The analysis updates EPRI’s 2004 EPRI assessment, which estimated the cost of implementing a smart grid at $165 billion. Mark McGranaghan, EPRI vice president of Power Delivery and Utilization, says the increased costs of the current analysis reflect a more advanced and expansive vision for the smart grid.
