"Stellar Grants is proud to team with Intergraph to raise awareness around this important Smart Grid and electric infrastructure modernization initiative and to provide guidance for utilities interested in better understanding how to obtain the funding available for these projects," said Kimberly Fontenot, president of Stellar Grants.
