U.S.-EU Smart Grid Deployment

November 2009

Atlantic Council

Abstract

Given the considerable smart grid investments already underway in the U.S. and Europe, the U.S., the EU Commission and the EU's 27 member states should engage with each other in this promising field. This report recommends the establishment of an appropriate transatlantic liaison with these existing efforts to ensure compatible standards and regulations based on international standards wherever possible.
