The Grid Edge Interoperability and Security Alliance (GEISA) provides a specification which defines a consistent, secure, and interoperable computing environment for embedded devices at the very edge of the electric utility grid, like electric meters and distribution automation devices, for the benefit of utilities, platform vendors, and software vendors. GEISA is a project under the LF Energy.
The GEISA project page has general details about the GEISA effort. The GEISA Wiki has notes from GEISA meetings.

The GEISA specification is developed under the Community Specification License. All other GEISA artifacts are under the Apache License.
Published releases and current development builds of the GEISA specification are available at spec.geisa-energy.org. The site provides both HTML and downloadable PDF versions.
GEISA maintains several GitHub repositories covering the specification, its machine-readable definitions, conformance testing, and community-developed projects:
- Specification contains the GEISA specification and supporting documentation
- Schemas contains the Protocol Buffer and JSON Schema definitions, profiles, and examples referenced by the specification
- Conformance provides tests that developers and platform providers can run against their own hardware and implementations
- Community contains community-maintained applications, platform projects, example implementations, demonstrations, and tools. These projects are not part of the specification or official conformance framework and may have different maintainers and levels of support
