The GridWise® Architecture Council (GWAC)\, a group c onvened by the U.S. Dept. of Energy\, chartered a project to assess the el ectric industry vision and future state assessment documents and determine how aligned these views of the future are. The project objectives\nwere t o identify:\n1.) Stakeholders\; vision and future states for the electric industry and grid\n\n2.) Their similarities\, differences\, divergences\, and stakeholder impacts\, and\n\n3.) Architectural challenge-gap categorie s for potential multi-stakeholder organization coordination and collaborat ion opportunities.\n\nThe GWAC identified six major architectural challeng es or gap areas during assessing and characterizing ten vision and future state reports from nine organizations:\n\n1.)
