The five-year partnership with Sydney and Newcastle Universities will create Centres of Excellence at both institutions for research and development of intelligent electricity networks. The research centres will also be supported by communications and IT giants, including multi-nationals Alcatel-Lucent, IBM and General Electric. "Smart grids are the biggest change to the electricity network in 100 years, This means power engineers need broader skills than ever before – they need both IT and engineering skills. Part of building a smart grid involves training a new generation of engineers to operate it. This partnership means engineering students will help transform traditional electricity networks by developing and testing technologies and, later, by working on the smart grid as engineers. The intelligent network will change the electricity industry in much the same way that mobile phones have re-shaped the telecommunications industry."
