Invitation to Participate in the Grid Modernization Index Readiness Survey

Are you aware of the status of grid modernization in your state? Do you want to know how your state compares to others? The GridWise Alliance's Grid Modernization Index Readiness Survey is the industry standard for collecting and reporting this information. The GMI Readiness Survey seeks input from key stakeholders in the United States, including state utility regulators and staff, state energy policy makers, all electric utilities, and transmission-only entities such as ISO, RTO, TransCo, etc.

We are pleased to announce that the 2024 GMI Readiness Survey will be launched in the coming weeks, and we invite you to be a part of this crucial effort. To receive the survey, please take a moment to complete this registration form. Once your eligibility is confirmed, you will receive an email with the survey link from Black & Veatch, GridWise Alliance's partner in managing the 2024 GMI Readiness Survey.
