–From IEEE Contribution 802.16-09/0023 -Project Planning Adhoc Report (by Jose Puthenkulam; 2009-11-17):

Smart Grid:
An IEEE 802.16 GRIDMAN Study Group (SG) on "Greater Reliability In Disrupted Metropolitan Area Networks" has been created. The proposal was approved by the IEEE 802.16 WG and the IEEE 802 Executive Committee. It will study the synergies among IEEE 802.16 wireless metropolitan area network technologies aimed at Smart Grid, Public Safety, Avionics, Airport Surface Communication, and Surveillance applications. The SG needs to create an adhoc/plan for engaging with the NIST Smart Grid project and co-ordinate with other IEEE 802 WGs on this topic. It will first meet at IEEE 802.16 Session #65.
