Invitation to Participate in the GMI Survey | | |
|
|
Later this summer, GridWise Alliance will launch a survey for the Grid Modernization Index Readiness Report. To ensure our data is comprehensive, we are seeking as many survey respondents as possible. If you are working at a utility, state energy office, or state regulatory entity and would be willing to complete the survey, please fill out this interest survey.
The survey is built on the GMI Readiness Framework, a tool for states and utilities to evaluate grid modernization progress. The results of the 2024 survey will provide state and federal policy makers with an indication of state and utility readiness to accommodate the drivers of change in our nation’s electric grid. Survey respondents will be placed on the email list to receive updates on the survey results and the Readiness Report.
