IBM Unveils Framework for Smart Grid Technologies | eWeek

IBM’s SAFE platform is designed to give utilities a simple way to bring energy-efficient technologies to their operations, while giving software makers a vehicle for getting their applications to those utilities. IBM’s announcement comes the same day that IBM and Cisco Systems officials helped announce a smart grid project pushed by PG&E and the city of San Jose, Calif.

Brief multimedia posts related to IBM's Smarter Planet initiative, which includes smart grids, solar power and related energy issues as a major area of focus.
