Silver Spring Smart Meters is hoppin! Keeping a brisk pace, they’ve just signed on with Modesto Irrigation District in central
Anyone from
The district is hoping to have everything set up by early 2009. It’ll be exciting to see how this works out for the relatively small area, because (at the risk of sounding redundant) it will lead, hopefully quickly, to bigger installments in more populated areas.

This is a HUGE missed opportunity. If our smart house can understand real time usage, a tidal wave of innovation will be unleashed saving billions in energy.
As it is, "Not so Smart Meters" do away with meter readers and help out with load leveling which are the low hanging fruit.

The initial roll-outs may be 'not so smart' from the perspective of the energy conscious homeowner, but the majority of these meters do contain technology which allows them to be connected to the home. Most are firmware-upgradable so that new features may be rolled out post-installation, and connectivity to the home is included in the plans for nearly every major utility.
A number of companies (mine included) are lining up to provide intelligent devices and services to energy consumers as these deployments begin to become reality.
