Smart Grid, Smart City

Overview
The Smart Grid, Smart City project is part of the Australian Government's National Energy Efficiency Initiative and will deliver Australia's first commercial-scale smart grid. The project will demonstrate a range of smart grid technologies and applications.

The project aims to gather robust information about the costs and benefits of smart grids to help inform future decisions by government, electricity providers, technology suppliers and consumers across Australia.

It is anticipated that interim data and results will be made available publicly over the course of the project to share lessons with other electricity networks that are developing smart grids, and to assist industry with the development of smart grid technologies.
