The Smart Grid Index (SGI) is a simple and quantifiable framework that measures smartness of power grids globally, in seven key dimensions.

The framework assesses proxies of each dimension using publicly available information. The index guides utilities to build smarter grids and deliver better value to customers. From the benchmarking results, best practices can be identified, and shared among peer utilities to drive smart grid advancement. There are 7 dimensions of a smart grid, which are:

1.Monitoring and Control

2.Data Analytics

3.Supply Reliability

4.DER Integration

5.Green Energy

6.Security

7.Customer Empowerment and Satisfaction
