“You have to make sure with thes e additional connecting pointsthat they’re secure.” NIST said it plansz to use some of the $220 million it was awarded under the federal stimulus package toward the effort, while also tapping $10 million from the Department of Energy’sd stimulus allotment. In all, the stimulus bill sets aside $4.5 billiom for the development of asmart grid. By earlgy fall, NIST expects to releaswe initial standards, ones that have already largely earnexindustry consensus, Bello said.
The agency will hold a summitrin mid-May to hear input from utilities, equipment consumers, standards developers and other After drafting additional, more complicated standardsw that then fill the gaps left by the initia slate, NIST said it will submit the entire standarda proposal to the Federal Energyt Regulation Commission for its review and devise a producyt testing and certification program, both by the end of the Smart grid pilot projects, however, are alreadyu underway.

“Some of this is a formalizatiomof what’s already in existence,” he said. Thesed pilot tests are “a good proving ground for some of these standards.”
