Boulder, Colorado, has become the world's "first fully functioning smart grid enabled city".

The utility company will now be able to read meters remotely, and in-home energy monitoring platforms will be available to houses on the smart grid.

"The $100 million venture ties together all the automated functions of SmartGridCity including: switching power through fully automated substations; re-routing power around bottlenecked lines; detecting power outages and proactively identifying outage risks. The deployment integrated more than 20 applications, 95 new interfaces and more than 300 test cases."
