Abstract
Energy is a fundamental input to economic activity. Energy services light up our homes, offices, and schools, allow production and distribution of goods, offer comfort and mobility, and contribute to health and well-being. Energy is everywhere around us, but, as human beings, “we extract” energy in a very expensive and inefficient way, with heavy environmental impacts.

It is important to quote also ITU-T Smart Grid Focus Group that has the following objective: to collect and document information and concepts that would be helpful for developing Recommendations to support Smart Grid from a telecommunication/ICT perspective. The ITU-T approach is quite similar to the IEEE approach but the three layers are called: energy layer, communication and control layer and service and application layer. ITU-T is managing the relationship with ETSI in particular also with ETSI M2M (Machine To Machine) standardization group. ETSI architectural approach is very similar to the ITU-T approach.
