The Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. Smart Grid Demonstration Project is a United States Department of Energy Smart Grid Demonstration Project which is based in New York, New York. The project will demonstrate a scalable, cost-effective smart grid prototype that promotes cyber security, reduces electricity demand and peak energy use, and increases reliability and energy efficiency, beginning from 2010. The system will include renewable energy generation, grid monitoring, electric vehicle charging stations, transmission automation, and consumer systems that will help expand the use of renewable energy and lead to greater consumer participation in the electricity system.
