SAN ANTONIO--()--SmartMark Communications announced today that CEO Juliet Shavit is featured on the cover of the latest issue of Electric Energy T&D Magazine. In this special issue which will be distributed at DistribuTECH 2014, Shavit talks openly about the importance of creating a standardized framework for Smart Grid customer education.

Earlier this month SmartEnergy IP™ launched the first-ever Smart Grid Customer Education ModelTM. It provides a common framework for utilities to educate customers on the benefits of Smart Grid, and encourages close collaboration and communication between IT, metering, and marketing departments within utilities.

“With the absence of a framework in the industry, many utilities and stakeholders are approaching Smart Grid customer education in many different ways,” said Shavit. “But by rolling out a universal framework for Smart Grid customer education we can, as an industry, ensure smoother future Smart Grid deployments and define success around consumer engagement.”

Shavit added, “We hope that by providing this industry framework, utilities will now have a recipe for rolling out Smart Grid customer education that is measurable and easy to discuss both internally and externally to stakeholders.”

SmartEnergy IP is the leading provider of Smart Grid customer education strategies to the utilities industry, providing strategy to utilities, regulators and industry stakeholders globally.
