With the right tools and technologies, a utility’s customers can make smarter decisions about how they use their power. Now, thanks to a partnership between GE and power utility AEP, a smarter grid is becoming a reality.
The gridSMART demonstration project is where it begins. Better communication between meter and grid helps AEP improve the quality and reliability of their service for residential and business customers.
As these customers know more about what power they are using when, they can take a more active role in their energy usage. In many cases, this extra attention can lead to lower costs.
The partnership marks yet another advancement in GE Smart Grid technologies. And it comes at an exciting time for utilities that are helping the next generation of the electrical grid take shape.
