Duke Proposes Statewide Smart Grid « Earth2Tech

Description

"First we had Texas utility Oncor sign a $690 million deal for smart meters and now North Carolina-based Duke Energy has announced ambitious plans to build a statewide smart grid network. Starting in Indiana, the proposal would include more than 800,000 new digital “smart meters” — one for nearly every Hoosier customer across the entire state. The five-year initiative would also include new communications systems along the existing lines and in substations, reducing the need for on-site work and the frequency and duration of power outages, Duke says."
