Dear The GridWise,

Happy Holidays from the GridWise Team! We’ve just wrapped up another successful gridCONNEXT® (full recap here) and are finishing up some year-end business before we close down until January 2, 2025. Be on the lookout for the release of recordings of some of the best sessions of the two days on our YouTube channel.

If you find yourself with some down time over the holidays, we have a wish list for your attention!

• Grid Modernization Index (GMI): If you are a utility member, please take a few minutes to complete our new survey on technology deployment, customer engagement, and other key indicators of grid modernization.
• AI Survey: If you are a technology solution provider, let us know how you are incorporating AI into your products and services. If you are a utility, let us know how you are already using AI across your business enterprise. The results will inform a white paper we will release in early 2025.
• GridWise 2025 Policy Platform: We are developing a policy platform for federal and state action, and we need your help. Email Glenn McDonell to share the policies and regulatory changes that will help you accelerate grid modernization.

Wishing you all a wonderful, restful holiday season!

Karen Wayland

CEO, GridWise Alliance
