I haven't confirmed this yet, but I've heard that Steve Chu is going to open his big bag of money again tomorrow. This time, it's $3.4 billion for grants in smart grid.

It is likely that the money that will be released will come from the previously announced smart grid funds. And, of course, it could always be delayed. Who knows. Maybe he has a commencement speech or something else on the agenda. But if you're in smart grid, the big dollars seem to be coming soon.

So stay tuned.
