Japan will consider the use of smart grid technologies as it forms a new energy policy following the nuclear crisis in Fukushima prefecture, the government’s top spokesman said.

“Japan will work on establishing a new energy system, including the introduction of a smart grid,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said in a speech in Tokyo today, without elaborating. A smart grid uses computerized meters to regulate power use.
