The Smart Grid can be a profound transformation of the
current electricity system. However, how
is it put together? Like the Internet,
where familiar standardized protocols such as TCP/IP enabled revolutionary
growth, the same is also possible in the Smart Grid. There is a complex process underway to set
these standards. Noted Energy Lawyer
Professor Eisen, writer of a leading energy law text Energy, Economics and the
Environment, is taking a key role in this effort. He has consulted for numerous utilities,
companies, and federal and state regulators on these issues. He is coming to
visit Harvard Law School and will be giving a talk on this topic March
6th. Come and learn about this exciting
new area of work. Lunch (non-pizza) will
be served!
