StrategyPhase 02 · Smart Grid Maturity Survey
WHY THIS ANNEX EXISTS

A decision instrument, not a paperwork exercise.

Locate the utility’s present maturity across strategy, data, systems, operations, workforce and consumer service so modernization ambitions match actual institutional capability.

QUESTIONS IT SHOULD HELP ANSWER

Start with uncertainty.

Use the annex to make the decision and its missing evidence visible before discussing a preferred product or schedule.

  1. 01Which capabilities are repeatable and governed today?
  2. 02Where are processes still manual, fragmented or dependent on individuals?
  3. 03Which digital foundations are prerequisites for the intended AMI use cases?
  4. 04What maturity step is realistic within the utility’s resources and risk appetite?

HOW TO USE THE ANNEX

Four disciplined moves.

01Frame

Define the target operating outcomes, not a technology wish list.

02Examine

Assess the current state using evidence from each responsible function.

03Control

Separate foundational capabilities from advanced aspirations.

04Decide

Prioritize improvements by dependency, value and delivery risk.

IMPORTANT CONTROL BOUNDARY

What this page does not do.

Maturity is contextual. A higher score is not automatically better if the capability does not serve a defined utility need. This educational page explains the instrument but does not reproduce its complete working tables. Use the controlled Protocol PDF and the responsible professional or authority for actual project work.

USE THE AUTHORITATIVE VERSION

Open the complete working instrument in Protocol 3.2.

The downloadable publication preserves the full annex, version context and framework limitations.
