Most of the Recovery Act funding will go to states. They in turn will distribute funds through grants, contracts, subsidies, loan programs, etc. Click on a state for details on that state’s energy-related departments and regulatory authorities, plus utilities, local news coverage and more.
As "most of the Recovery Act funding will go to states," their "... legislatures need to empower state regulators to do the innovative job to satisfy the need for their constituencies that a homogeneous grid is no longer able to provide."
"To consider a heterogeneous grid, legislatures can take a look at the now closed debate between Mr. James Carson and I, under the EWPC article "The Electricity Without Price Controls Architecture Framework (EWPC-AF)."
To get introduced, please go first to the EWPC post "States that Implement a Heterogeneous Grid are Poised to be the Winners (http://bit.ly/6R5tDP )."
The Texas page is missing information on the many efforts of smart grid & renewable energy inplementation in the San Antonio region. I have included two links to the local paper which demonstrate just smart grid commitments and projects locally. Glad to add more for CPS Energy's tremendous push for adding renewables in their portfolio. http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Program-aims-at-energy-costs-1436079.php http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Clean-tech-not-just-goal-for-S-A-1434591.php

Smart grid hits and misses
Very nicely done and appreciate the other comments with resources to add.
From fires in Philadelphia to firearms in Texas, smart meter associated flare-ups make the news weekly. And it makes us wonder: If you could turn back the clock and rethink the whole smart grid rollout, would you do it differently? And if so how? That's this week's topic in our discussion forum.
