[1st-mile-nm] Smart Grid/Telecom

[David Breecker]

For those on the list interested in this conjunction (and further to  
Richard's post last week), a couple of data points that may be useful:

First, Tom Bowles of the Governor's Office recently convened a summit  
on the future electric grid, and how New Mexico can work with the  
federal government to participate in this rapidly emerging area of  
development.  So there's good potential for a fit between the state- 
wide ISBI initiative and related electric grid efforts, for shared  
infrastructure planning.

Second, the Santa Fe regional plan for renewable energy industry  
development (aka the TREE plan) calls for establishing a Smart Grid  
Center of Excellence with a micro-grid test-bed and demo facility.   
Santa Fe Community College, one of the TREE plan consortium members,  
is very interested in developing this expertise as part of its new  
Sustainable Technologies Center, which also calls for advanced telecom  
connectivity.
