Department of Energy - Smart Grid Stimulus Awards for Texas
A Texas industry-research institution partnership has been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy to carry out a regional demonstration project aimed at better integrating the vast Texas wind energy resources into the state�s electric transmission, distribution and metering system.
Under the DOE grant, when finally negotiated, the Center for the Commercialization of Electric Technologies (CCET) will lead a coalition of Texas electricity market participants in carrying out a demonstration project supported by a $13.5 million Federal grant.

CCET member, Bluebonnet Electric Co-op travels the path to a Sustainable Grid.
�Here at Bluebonnet, our vision is to build not a smart grid,
but a Sustainable Grid�. Our challenge is to take the information
locked within the meter into the kitchen�to empower our
members with real-time load data, the ability to set profiles, control
appliances and shift load, while we balance the power they
produce with the power we bring to our system from the wholesale market.�

Texas is fortunate to be home to a wealth of energy and technology expertise – an advantage that is the focus of the Center for the Commercialization of Electric Technologies (CCET).
Electric utilities, technology companies, and educational institutions in Texas have recognized the opportunity to work together to enhance the security, reliability, and efficiency of the electric infrastructure in Texas through research, development, demonstration, and commercialization of advanced technologies. CCET is moving forward with projects to produce innovation in the transmission, distribution, and use of electric energy that will maintain the state’s leadership in the industry and improve the economic well-being of all citizens.
