Cisco's Laura Ipsen describes how their Smart Grid solution takes advantage of secure, standards-based IP infrastructure to provide an information overlay for both energy providers and consumers.  She also mentions the increasing importance of balancing demand for PHEV charging, with an increasing percentage of new vehicle purchases being electric vehicles.
