The smart grid is an emerging electric networking technology that will improve the capabilities of the electric grid. Consumer’s needs should not be overlooked as this new technology develops. Our project’s goal was to determine the extent the Danish Consumer Council (DCC) should become involved in the standardization process. Our research identified several critical aspects of the emerging smart grid technology, resulting in a number of recommendations for the DCC on how to monitor its development and protect consumer interests.
