New York State Smart Grid Consortium Commends Gov.

ALBANY, N.Y. NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE–

The New
York State Smart Grid Consortium (NYSSGC, a public-private
partnership devoted to statewide implementation of the smart grid, today
praised the leadership of Governor Andrew Cuomo for his vision on energy
issues and foresight in recognizing the importance and urgency in
upgrading New York's electric grid with the best available technology.
NYSSGC Chairman Robert B. Catell was in attendance this afternoon for
the Governor's State of the State speech in Albany.

"We applaud Governor Cuomo's bold energy initiatives as outlined in his
State of the State, in particular his vision for a new Energy Czar, his
ambitious plans for a nation-leading electric vehicle infrastructure and
his call to strengthen New York's energy infrastructure," said Catell.
"The leadership of the Governor and his new Energy Czar, Richard
Kauffman, will be essential in developing a coherent pathway to
efficiently and effectively build a 21st century smart electric grid
from which all New Yorkers can reap the benefits. "

As New York continues to recover from Sandy, the state is poised to
implement a smart grid energy infrastructure that will include a more
efficient transmission and distribution system and the integration of
renewable energy sources. A smart grid will also support innovative
deployment of an electric vehicle (EV transportation infrastructure and
additional mechanisms for greater certainty for the solar market. Along
with increased reliability through the incorporation of these innovative
technologies, a modernized electric grid will bring tangible benefits to
consumers through controls and options on how they use energy, as well
as ultimately reduce energy costs long-term.

"As shown by the devastating consequences of Hurricane Sandy, we need a
grid that is more resilient, with improved ability to quickly diagnose
problems and deploy automatic systems that can make real time
adjustments by re-routing distribution networks and better coordinating
generating assets," added Catell. "Modernizing our electrical grid is a
complicated challenge involving different stakeholders, ranging from
electric utilities and regulators, to emerging technology companies and
individual rate payers. As a Consortium of several key stakeholders, we
are prepared to support the Governor's vision as the benefits of smart
grid investment will not only help us be better prepared for future
storms, but will also reduce energy costs and give more control to the
consumer."

New York is home to a world-class leading effort designed to establish a
pathway towards lowering the cost and increasing the efficiency of our
Grid. The New York State Smart Grid Consortium (NYSSGC brings together
the world's leading utilities, technology providers, policy makers and
research institutions to identify opportunities that show the most
promise for broader smart grid technology deployment. The Consortium
provides the perfect convening point to develop, test and eventually
implement the best solutions and a way to work with policy makers to
identify needed regulatory developments. In addition to serving as an
advocate for the best technology and policies, the Consortium serves as
a resource and collection of experts when it comes to the future of New
York State's grid. Incorporated on July 22, 2009, the Consortium is a
