Smart Grid

■ Utilities need more Power to satisfy demand – but only a few days a year● Build 1 less Power Plant – save $350M

■ Change consumer behavior● Time of day billing

● Instantaneous feedback to consumers on usage

■ Utility can manage load directly● During times of peak load, the utilities can send commands to

control devices within the home (with prior agreement with consumer)
