8. Summary and Conclusion

This decision adopts 19 consensus metrics to measure progress on implementing a Smart Grid.

In addition, the decision creates four Technical Working Groups to revise consensus metrics, to develop cyber-security metrics, to develop environmental measures and to develop four Smart Grid goals. The reports developed by the Technical Working Groups will be used by the Energy Division in its review of metrics. The report of the Technical Working Group on goals will be filed and served in this proceeding by November 1, 2012. We anticipate a Commission decision in this proceeding adopting goals and subsequent consideration of additional metrics by the Commission in other venues.
