Paul Davidson of USA Today wrote an article over the weekend covering the expansion of Federal investment in smart grid technology in the stimulus package that is currently being discussed in Congress. As exciting as that sounds, it gets even better here...
"Consumers that choose time-of-use pricing are prodded to cut air conditioning use on hot days when the grid is stressed and shift, say, their laundry to later in the evening. Utilities avoid building plants needed only at peak hours. Customers on variable pricing in southern Illinois save about 10% on their bills, says program coordinator CNT Energy."
Not bad. (Although I hope you don't feel like we prod you.) Getting mentioned in the USA Today is positive acknowledgment of the work we have put in here at CNT Energy, and what you have accomplished in your homes.
