 SMART GRID NEWS TALK BACK BUZZ
Re:Mr Andersons concerns
The intent of Smart Grid in places such as Southern California is not for the utility to control things such as thermostats but to provide information so consumers can make choices. If a consumer were to receive a pricing signal that indicated energy was going to be higher at a given point in the day they could chose to act ...
