Vision & Mission

The IntelliGrid Consortium was created by EPRI to help the energy industry pave the way to IntelliGrid--the power grid of the future. This is a unique industry group because:

• Our partners are utilities, manufacturers and representatives of the public sector
• We fund and manage R&D dedicated solely to implement IntelliGrid
• We are led by utility visionaries/leaders

The convergence of greater consumer choice and rapid advances in the communications, computing and electronics industries is influencing similar change in the power industry. The growing knowledge-based economy requires a digital power delivery system that links information technology with energy delivery.

IntelliGrid Vision

The partners of the IntelliGrid Consortium have collaboratively developed a vision for the power delivery system of the future. Its spirit and intention has remained unchanged since the start of the initiative. It is:

A new electric power delivery infrastructure that integrates advances in communications, computing and electronics to meet the energy needs of the future

This vision is intended to be shared not only among our partners but throughout the energy industry and public agencies.

IntelliGrid Mission

The IntelliGrid Consortium will enable the development, integration and application of technologies to facilitate the transformation of the electric infrastructure to cost-effectively provide secure, high quality, reliable electricity products and services.
